For my myth / home network I don't have particularly complex needs - but I
find my Linksys wireless router, running the DD-WRT software more than meets
my needs.  It can allocate static addresses, do NAT so I can redirect ports
from the outside to my myth server, etc.  I find the DD-WRT software very
stable - and does everything I need it to.  (The stock Linksys software is
terrible though - you can't even allocate a static address using its DHCP).
All this for less than $50, and no headaches.
