Stay away from Linksys. We have about 50 8 port firewall/gateway poxed deployed. They seem to "go dumb" and need a reboot once an a while, even with the new firmware, also throughput isn't that good on them, compared to the netgear routers that we have deployed...

Maybe now that cisco owns them they'll start making decent products again.

So, I'm wondering about which DSL firewall boxes are decent, and can
they handle dynamic IP addresses?  Or, is it just easier to use
iptables/netfilter on my system at home and make that the router/
firewall for my network?


Any decent "broadband router" can deal with DHCP. The only thing you usually
have to worry about is when ISPs (like MediaOne back in the day) would
renumber and kill your DHCP lease in the middle of a lease, but a reboot of
the system/router would fix that. I've used linksys ones with great results,
I have some friends using Netgear ones that also work good.
