I think what ever solution you end up using might make a good NLUG
meeting telling the pros/cons and what came of it!
I think you are on the right track. For the billing rate, it is
probably cheaper to use 2 wifi routers and
a third router, or router with no wifi enabled than anything else.
Just on a lark, take your DSL, hook it into a cheapie 4 port
hub/switch, and plug the 'wan' side of
your current routers
You may want to consider a typical consumer grade router, like a Linksys,
but use one of the open-source alternative firmwares, like DD-WRT or Tomato.
I've used both extensively. DD-WRT has more functionality, but is harder
to use and (in some cases) less stable. Tomato is has a very good user
for that matter, though pfsense is a PC version/expansion of m0n0wall
(http://www.m0n0wall.org/) which is designed for embedded/appliance
mainly, there have been some instances of an appliance approach, but, you
would need to search their forums (which are quite informative) as I don't
have
