The next router I was going to get would probably be one of the Asus
units for a variety of features.  I've had the WRTs for a long time and
they still work quite well but they are limited in space (one of them
has about 560kB free total so I can't add any more packages).

Alternatively I was considering a GuruPlug with the double net
interfaces to run either linux/iptables or pfsense.
