    What you are looking for is a WAN router (i.e. has a ethernet port for it's WAN socket) as opposed to DSL wireless modem/router. Netgear, Dlink and Linksys all make suitable routers.

    I'd personally recommend the Linksys WRT54G. Have one myself and works a treat. It's upstairs and I have no problem using laptop downstairs with a strong signal.
