Somewhat unrelated but if you are looking for a rock-solid router, check out Microtik. I've been through half a dozen routers over the years, with and without custom firmware, and having owned a Mikrotik Routerboard for the last year, it's the first one that just works 100% and never drops connections. Easy to set up if you know what you are doing and customizable if you want to dig in.

Yeah, Mikrotik have great devices for reasonable prices, but it is irritating that you can't run own applications on it, there is no publicly available working kernel to run under MetaROUTER, and they want 45$ for GPLed sources

Check out http://demo.mt.lv/ and http://demo2.mt.lv/ for a live demo of the OS (RouterOS) that comes with Mikrotik products.
If you can't get a Mikrotik, then a Draytek is normally a good bet also.
