Hi,

I am looking for a good 802.11g wireless router which will serve the
purpose as a cable modem and a wireless access point (router). Does
anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks
NK Ab

Don't. Get a Motorola SB5100 cable modem and a Netgear/Linksys wireless
G router with 4-port switch. That should cover your needs for like $80
and you can replace one or the other without having the cost of replacing
both. $50 for the modem and $30 for the router at several elctronics
outlets (may require rebate).

If you're interested in VOIP, then models will vary.

Yes. I suggest you NOT put all your eggs in a single basket. But the
cable modem, and router/WAP as two boxes. Then if one function fails,
you won't be out as much to correct the problem.

Agreed. In addition, I would put a dedicated firewall appliance between the
cable modem and the router.

Not necessary, nor usually practical, except for business use.
