From an Internet Security point of view there is No real difference between entry level Cable/DSL Routers, they all provides NAT-Firewall.

This statement is meaningless unless you define specifically what you are using it for.

As an Example, this is an excellent Cable/DSL Router, in the USA it costs only $39.

Taking into consideration that a combo meal in Fast Food Joint might Go for $7, and it will augment your chance to get some kind of health problem. A Wireless Cable/DSL Router that cost 5-6 Fast Food meals (and can serve you for years) can not beconsidered as expensive.
