+1.  Of the consumer router vendors, I'd only consider Asus. They were 
held accountable by the FTC for poor security and have a 20 year 
mandate to be audited. Appears they've taken that mandate and have 
become a Best Practice vendor for security.

Of course, doing that costs more, which is why Asus routers aren't 
cheap.
