Currently MSY has Netgear WNDR3700 for A$99. It has a 5*gigE programmable switch, 11n wifi, 16MB/64MB, and excellent OpenWRT support. If those are things you want, IMO it's easily worth the price. If you don't want those things, >shrug<.
i get to this point and think "excellent, that'll do"
I concede the lack of open ADSL drivers is very annoying.
and then i get to this sticking point and realise, "no, it won't".
without an ADSL driver, I'm still going to have to have an ADSL modem as well as a router, which defeats the entire purpose (of merging modem + router/firewall and wifi into one little unit) for me. and then i remember that 64MB RAM wont be enough to run an authoritative nameserver (which has to be on my gateway's IP address of 203.16.167.1) and it certainly wont be enough for squid.
Probably expensive, but traverse Technologies offer ADSL modem/router boxes now with Gigabit ports. From memory, you could add a wireless card. I don't know how much RAM. The ADSL driver is in the mainline kernel.
