I've got two routers available.  Right now I have the following set up:

Verizon DSL
         |
         |
Belkin F5D7230-4 (DHCP, WiFi, etc)
         |
         |-- Windows Server (IIS et al)
         |-- Wireless Network
         |    |- Desktop
         |    \- Laptop
         |
SMC 7004ABR (Acting as a switch, DHCP and routing disabled)
         |
         \- Desktop

According to the DD-WRT site the Belkin can be flashed but I'm
hesitant to do it because if I mess something up I've lost my only
wireless access point.  At this point though I truly think that
Verizon's techs are clueless and they are blocking incoming VPN
traffic.
