I highly recommend the Accton ADS7004BR.. it's a wireless router
with a 4-port 100baseT switch, and does PPPoE built in.  It works
great with Flets, and allows you to pass ports in for running a 
Linux server behind the router.  I've been using it happily for
a month with no problems.

I got mine at Plat'home (the best store in Akihabara for Linux geeks)
for about Y30000, and the wireless is worth every penny.
