That depends on the router. I bought a very cheap Edimax (6104 K) for less then 250 NIS. It has both L2TP and PPTP with dynamic IP (i.e. a DHCP client). So far, it works flawlessly (I'm connected through it to a Cable modem). It also has a special support for "BEZEQ-Israel". Its operation as a switch are less satisfactory (I just tested it and its throughput is less than 20 Mbits on 100 Mbits connections).
