In principle, anything with a proper 100Mbit switch should be capable of
feeding you the full 50Mbps down. In practice... either the Linksys
WRT54GL or Buffalo WHR-G45S will do you well with Tomato firmware
installed. Microcenter in Cambridge still has a few of the Linksys boxes
in stock, although the price is a bit steep these days. I put Tomato on
my '54GL a few months ago and it's been really solid, even better than
it was with DD-WRT.

And yes, it is capable of handling 50/25Mbps without sweating.
