1 or more, we're soon going to see problems with the installed/available
routers as broadband creeps over the 10mb mark since most (all?)
consumer grade ones seem to come with 10mb WAN ports AFAIK.
Right now best router for the $$$ is the Linksys WRT5GS (note the S)
even if you don't ever use the WiFi side. Wonder if they'll revamp it
with 100mb soon?

Why a one port router? Seems like a normal home router is the cheapest
you can get and those aren't one port routers.

Have them buy a one port router if they have a single computer with a
high speed 24/7 connection for the NAT translation. I have several
clients setup this way & if they want to add systems to share their
WAN connection then have them buy a 4 or 5 port switch. Now whether
they have a software firewall installed or not they'll be reasonably
safe providing they aren't in the habit of shooting themselves in the
foot by launching unknown attachments.
