Another one to check out (which I haven't seen mentioned) is "Tomato"
[1]. It what I use on my WRT54G (can't remember which hardware
version). If it will work on yours, you may want to try it out before
purchasing a new one.

I especially like that I can have two MAC's associated with one IP
address: Now my wifi/ethernet cards on my laptop receive the same IP
address, which simplifies some things for my own personal setup.
