I'll second the Tomato recommendation. The QoS is remarkably easy to use and
the reporting mechanisms are rather handy. It gives really sparse error
messages when things go awry, though, ala PPPoE, so you may have to SSH into
it on occasion. Unresponsive devs, partially due to the problem described
above. Still, the easiest to use and most full featured web interface for
any class of router I've ever seen.
