The Linksys WRT54G* family flashed with dd-wrt firmware.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd-wrt
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

(Check out the final link so you get the right model that's supported)

If you want to know how mind-blowingly awesome and configurable the dd-wrt firmware is, there's a demo of the configuration interface that lets you check out all the features before investing:

Another vote for wrt54GL with dd-wrt.

Just stay away from the latest wrt54g, less memory and I don't even think you can put dd-wrt on it without haxing up some kind of serial adapter thing.

Another vote for the Linksys WRT54GL. I'm really happy with mine. Flashed it with Dd-wrt just like parabol. It has an amazing number of features considering that you can pick these up for less than $100 brand new. Speed improved after flashing it too. There are other flavours of firmware but after reading up on them Dd-wrt seemed to be the best for what I needed.

Umart do have them listed, under Network->Wireless:

For a list of other QLD retailers click here.

Just make sure you get a model with sufficient flash and ram. If unsure, just go the WRT54GL.
