I can't seem to find the Netgear model you recommended on my city. This one seems to be a good option for me: You-Link 54Mbps 802.11g Wireless G Router LAN - Static & Dynamic Routing With TCP/IP VPN - pass-through(IPS ec,L2TP),NAT,PPTP - PPPoe,DHCP(client & server) - Function: Automatically detects your ISP type,Exposed Host(DMZ),MACaddress authentication,URL content filtering,logs and e-mail alerts of Internet activity - Modulation Type:PFDM with BPSK,QPSK,16QAM,64QAM,DBPSK,DQPSK,CCK - Firewall:Stateful packet Inspection(SPI) and Dos attack protection - Encryption:64,128-bit WEP Encryption,WEP-PSK I suppose its features are enough for this sharing operation.
