Actually, I found a really sweet cable modem at Compusa the other day... 
It does NAT, WiFi, 4 port switch, and cable modem in one box.  It is a 
toshiba, and I really did not like its web setup, but it works fine. 
 One of my coworkers is using it.  it was $199 at compusa, but I am sure 
you can find it cheaper online.
