Agreed WRT54GL is the one to get. Flashing it with DD-WRT or Tomato is easy and gives you a lot more functionality. I've been running various versions for 3-4 years and wouldn't go back.

Or, if you're a real nerd, and you've got an old PC with 2 network cards laying around, you can run pfSense (FreeBSD based - http://www.pfsense.org/). I run it off the cd in an old Pentium 3 with no hard drive. Config files are stored on a USB key. It has *WAY* more functionality and power than any of the little Linksys, D-Link, or Buffalo routers.
