Small Office Router?

The router at my dad's office is getting old and needs to be replaced. It's a Netgear FVS318, whose VPN features we don't use anyway. I just use SSH to one of the servers in the office.

What do people recommend to replace it?

Reliability is the most important thing to me; one of the reasons we're replacing it is that its internal DynDNS client doesn't seem to work anymore. I don't want to deal with needing to reboot the router or not being able to connect remotely because the router froze. 8 (or more) ports would be nice but 4 is OK. I don't really care about N vs G wireless, or if it has wireless at all.

I lean to the Linksys WRT54GL, which is what I have at home and have put in my parents' house, because it has never given me any trouble at all. I run Tomato firmware on them.

But what else do y'all suggest? While I like the WRT54GL, it is a bit of an old design.
