I use a Pentium 4 machine running pfSense as my firewall/router.  I have
a standalone wireless a/b/g/n access point wired into the internal LAN
side of the router.  I use this setup (as opposed to a wireless NIC in the
router) since I already had the AP on hand, I don't have to worry about
firmware/drivers/compatibility, and pfSense doesn't currently support
802.11n directly.  I believe that this is a fairly typical setup for people
that use a PC as a router... and especially with the pfSense crowd.
