SIP registration tracking is more of an issue with proxy they register
with. Registrations are only a couple of packets per phone per 2-3 minutes.

This is usually a settings thing, and you can mostly get round it by
increasing the UDP connection tracking times or by lowering the
re-register times, usually setting it below 60 seconds is enough.

You can often trade off tcp connection tracking times and increase UDP
no problem at all.

QoS is ok, but isn't "great" unless both ends support it properly.

You could get a WRT54GL and then upload one of the 3rd party firmwards,
not 100% off the shelf so would probably fail your requirements, but
they can be one of the most powerful off the shelf devices you can get
your hands on, and they are below 100$.

There are similar devices to the WRT54GLs that have faster CPUs, USB
ports for mass storage etc.

Maybe the ASUS variant off the shelf might do, although I haven't used
them so no idea how configurable/useful they are.

Some links you might find useful.
