See the dd-wrt list of supported devices:

  http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

Right now I'd suggest either a Buffalo WHR-G54S or WHR-HP-G54, or a
Linksys WRT54GL.  (We are trying to keep all three on the shelf at the
store, BTW.)  With any of those, you'll *really* want to flash them
with either dd-wrt or openwrt as soon as you verify that the router
works.

If you run openwrt, you can run openvpn on the box and eliminate the
need for port forwarding.  :-)
