Out of curiousity, just what wireless routers are you thinking of?  The 
only wireless routers I've seen that will accept vpn connections, and 
are not pretty severely limited in their vpn capability are in the $250 
- $300 price range.  That's a pretty steep price range for most home 
users, or at least it is for me anyway.
