I'll echo Mark's sentiments.  I have had my DG834G for 26 months and it's been
rock solid, with good support via the website.  It runs linux based proprietary
firmware out of the box, but I noticed an AR7 port is in the pipeline as part of
the OpenWRT project (http://wiki.openwrt.org/AR7Port).

This may be heresy to some on this list, but I much prefer this to a linux pc
based firewall/router with VPN capability because it only consumes 6W of power
in use. :)
