What is a good router for home-based VPN Endpoint use?

[Miner]

I’m looking for advice or comments on a best setup for my home office. I need a new router, I am also looking for advice on no cost VPN clients, for Win 7/64.

New Router:

• In addition to the router having the usual features for a small home office, it should be able to function as a VPN Endpoint. I’d use the router in VPN mode for maybe 5% of the time, when I travel for the job. The rest of the time is normal internet usage.
• It should be consumer priced/consumer grade. To me that means in the sub $100 price range.
• Other requirements: connection to the one of the clients mentioned below, easy to configure, and does not throttle or have a bandwidth limitation. I’d prefer not to have to flash a router with open source firmware to make this work, however if that is the best way to go, I’m good to do so.
• It does not need to have wireless, I already have a standalone wireless access point that I can use.

VPN Clients:

• Need to run in 64-bit Windows 7. I am aware Windows comes with a VPN client. In the free category, there’s also OpenVPN, and ShrewSoft. I got those names from this write up on LifeHacker from 2010.

Comments and opinions appreciated.
