I've had terrible problems with a linksys WAG-54g V1 (but this is a known dog of a router) and I don't have enough good things to say about my Belkin F5D7633. It runs linux, handles Azureus and 2 copies of gtk-gnutella maxing out the link for months without error. I regularly see 30-50 days on a single connection/ip address and have gone 6 months without power-cycling the router. You can get into it with telnet and can then munge the internal iptables firewall to your hearts content. (You have to re-do this if you power cycle it but mine is on a UPS). It has 802.11g built in (but I'm not using it) and lots of fruity bits. It was expensive, but then it solved *all* my connectivity problems (well, except for the fact EIM is the back end) I've also had a generic no-name brand that was running VxWorks (that was a pig too) and a D-link modem that choked on high bandwidth and lots of connections.
