You could buy suitable hardware and install one of the well-known, router-oriented distributions on it such as Openwrt, then set up whatever software you need. The hardware is no more expensive than usual; the software costs nothing. Alright thank you Jason, I'll look up Openwrt; that may be the way to go;
Friends recently bought Negtear Wndr3700v2 routers for this purpose. The advantage is that they run entirely open drivers (that is, all of the drivers are free software/open-source). There are other options for fully open driver support as well, but the above seems to be a relatively popular product in the community. The experiences of the friends referred to above have been favourable so far.
