Advise on a router w/ features

[SpunkMonkey]

can anyone suggest a good router for my cable modem that has the following features:

some kind of built-in 10/100 switch or hub
port forwarding

Looking at all the different products out there is such a mess, especially when trying to compare specs. <sigh>

Linksys BEFSR41 is pretty easy to configure and the price is resonable.

SMC Barricade. It has a 4 port switch, print server, and can do port forwarding.

I have a Netgear RT314 and I love it. You can only forward up to 12 ports in the current firmware, though...

Got it for $84 bucks at staples like the other people in the forum...

If you don't want to go through the hassle with staples, you can order it through amazon.com for $109 w/ free shipping... much cheaper than the other brands...
