Veljko,
I would warn you that it is not that easy to get a one box solution that
includes a decent firewall. I have a Flowpoint 2200 DSL router that has a
four port hub and an optional ($199) firewall available.
Two problems:
First the hub is 10BaseT only. My internal network is 100BaseT so the hub
is useless.
Second the firewall upgrade is a packet filter firewall that is very
difficult to set up properly. I use gnatbox (very similar to stn) as a
firewall after the 2200 as it is a stateful packet firewall. The gnatbox
machine is connected to a 100baset hub.
I doubt you will get a single box (DSL CPE, firewall and hub) that does all
you want. You may want to look at the new box from ugate which includes a
100baset hub. It still requires a DSL modem. but it is very small and quiet
and eliminates two boxes (firewall and hub) however it is not clear from the
web site what kind of firewall protection it offers.
One advantage of the Flowpoint 2200 DSL router over the speadstream 5250 is
that it uses a normal power cord, not a power supply brick.
