I can vouch for Linksys WRT54G v 2. I dont know if the later versions are as
good as this. But this one does both the jobs you mentioned perfectly fine.
I also had a pretty bad experience with D-Link routers. The connection used
to drop after some time for no reason. However there are no such problems
with the wrt54g routers.

Another option is to get hold of some old hardware and build your own
router.
