D-Link's DGL-4300 works wonderfully for me.  I did a fair amount of
research before settling on this, and the reviews I read do bash some
D-Link devices but the 4300 seems to be a solid product.

If I had to do it all over again I'd get a Cisco 851W which is a
router with wireless access point built in.
