My broadband speed is 6.58Mbps.
(I am in a fairly remote location.)
I connect to my router/access point at close to
the advertised speed of 54Mbps,
so I don't think there is any danger of taxing the router.
I don't think the router's speed makes much difference
unless the broadband connection is an order of magnitude
greater than mine.

I notice that the Linksys WRT54GL is still recommended by
the dd-wrt wiki,
