Sounds like you talked yourself out of the appliance :-) Maybe I'm reading it the wrong way.
I've talked myself into being very cautious. Belkin is right out. The http hijack is unacceptable. Period. That particular Linksys is out, and until I read many good reviews, all Linksys products are suspect. I'm seriously considering the Netgear unit, but I'm looking to get more reviews first.
I'm pretty happy with my belkin 54g router/wap/switch. The http hijack is easily disabled, in fact, I disabled when I was configuring it for the first time, and never saw a single hijack. I had some initial problems getting bridging to work, and then getting port 80 forwarded to the internal network (why the default configuration port is on port 80 is beyond me), but those were configuration issues due to poor documentation. It's been working great for 3 months now. It supposedly integrates with a radius server if you've got one set up. It's also one of the first consumer units to suport WPA in addition to WEP encryption.
