$0.02: DO NOT get the wrt54g anymore - it's way outdated and way
underpowered.

A modern equivalent (from another email) is the WNDR 3800. 

The wrt54 was never a very good piece of hardware; it was just pretty
cheap and could run custom firmware.  The radio is pretty much crap,
and the ram is pretty minimal.

You can't, for example, use a wrt54 on fios and get very good
performance - it'll start throttling when it hits CPU load around
15-20mbit.
