I've got the Linksys WRT54G (I like this router more than I thought I would). The performance hits are definately the Internet speeds. My LAN runs through a Cisco catalyst at 100 meg (all wired connections).
I'm not a big fan of the Linksys anymore, but you'll certainly love life more running a server, VoIP, and Slingbox over a faster upstream connection.
