I have a DIR-505L ($15) I use for traveling. Has OpenVPN and SSIDs setup to bridge to the VPN (on layer 2). So when I connect to that special SSID it's as if I'm still onsite. It's also just a wallwart, so it's easy to travel with and doesn't look suspicious. I also have a DIR-835 ($20). Also use it as a VPN router (both client and server). It's a lot more powerful than the DIR-505L and does 5ghz. I used to use a WRT54GL, but then 802.11N came along and I also wanted 5ghz. So I got a Linksys E3000, but I later bricked it during a botched firmware upgrade. The uptime on that thing was like 400 days until I had a power outage. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding a OpenWRT router that will support gigabit routing for the WAN. So now I use the AT&T supplied router/modem. Unfortunately with AT&T, bridging just does double NATing (and the box has a connection limit of ~2000 for ipv4).
