I also have Verizon DSL - with a Belkin wireless router. I decided to 
go with Belkin after reading a MacWorld review some time ago. Works 
fine with my iBook, G4 tower (both with AirPort card) and my kids' two 
PCs running XP.  Also Belkin offers 'Parental Control' for only 
$20/year. It keeps kids away from harmful sites.
Setup was really easy. It took me less than 5 minutes to make it work.
I doubt you really need their 'free support' once your network is up 
and running.
