I'm a big fan of the Linksys and Buffalo routers that are compatible with the open source firmware. We used these all over our campus (at Watkins College) for our campus-wide wireless network. We use the Tomato firmware (a few less features, but stable and simple to set up) and have our whole, 3-building campus covered with Wifi for the cost of ten $40-50 routers. The Buffalo routers seem to have more transmission power, but they are sometimes a bit more expensive. You can get the Linksys routers on sale and they are for sale just about everywhere.
