MR814NA at best buy.
The MR314 supports ethertalk, so you can network between wireless and wired older macs hooked to that router just fine; IIRC the 814 does not support ethertalk although any appleshareIP traffic will work since that is IP based, unlike classic Appletalk. The question is, are your other macs that you wish to talk with, AppleshareIP servers or capable of AppleshareIP?
Netgear is very willing to "talk mac" and has an 800#, if you are in the US. Call early to avoid hold times. They will be happy to tell you which models support classic appletalk (ethertalk).
If you want you can now get Linksys wireless routers at Walmart lfor $40; but I'm pretty sure those do not support Appletalk. You can always set up crushftp or Netpresenz and move files around that way (via ftp), whichever router you go with. Be aware, some models router will support it (classic Appletalk) between wireless computers, but not let it cross from wireless to wired sides.
Even though I have ethertalk capabilty on my MR314, I usually ftp files around, but it is handy to have my ancient Personal Laserwriter NTR available via wireless for the 1400.
So if you are on a budget and opt for a clearance but non-Appletalk-capable router, it's not the end of the world ...
