It's getting kind of long in the tooth, but I've got an old LinkSys
WRT45G that seems to have everything you're looking for except maybe for
supporting the 108MBPS wireless standards. The LinkSys firmware itself
was totally accessible, but for reasons unrelated to accessibility, I
installed DD-WRT onto the LinkSys router. I did this to try to get
better performance on my network while I was using a torrent client. The
DD-WRT firmware is also totally accessible. I'd suggest getting a router
that has the HW configuration you're looking for, supports the 108MBPS
wireless standards and will run DD-WRT. This way, if the FW that comes
with your router isn't accessible or doesn't have all of the features
you're looking for, you can install DD-WRT on it. Good luck!
