It looks like the wireless router I was originally going to get has fallen through.  As a possible alternative, I see Linksys have the "WAG200G ADSL2+ Modem/Router, True firewall, Ethernet, 4xRJ-45 ports, 802.11b/g" available at quite reasonable prices (DSE $129 and Ascent $134).  Has anyone had experience with this or know if it's any good?

I purchased one from DSE last weekend. Not quite as easy as a D-Link to set up (had to do it manually for OSX, but windows users get a setup cd), pretty easy to follow instructions. Connection is solid, to my amazement my broadband speed has doubled (was using a wired DSE modem before). Can't complain at all for $129.
Also purchased the linksys wireless G usb adapter and threw it into an old dell xp machine, now have a Linux/vista/xp/OSX network all running through the Linksys.
