Wireless router doesn't pending for BolehVPN. BolehVPN is the connection to the the outside world (WAN) while your router is the gateway to your local Area Network (LAN).

I have good experiences with the D-Links and have been using the DIR-655

Linksys WRT54G v1-v4 / WRT54GS v1-v4 / WRT54GL v1.x (bit expensive, hard to find)

these router are very good when p2p after flash to 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt / tomato / openwrt

I bought this model to replace my old Linksys WRT54GS 1.0. Flashed it to DD-WRT and its running for almost a month with 24/7 heavy Internet activity, VPN, Skype and without any reboots. ;D

DD-WRT is available at http://www.dd-wrt.com/

Very good indeed for P2P.

Lies :) My Belkin is on 24/7 and the only reset needed is when Screamyx decides it's cool to try making it do disco lighting (dead connects).
