I have been considering doing the same thing. I have settled on buying the
Netgear FM114P (see
http://www.tomshardware.com/network/20021203/wlan-dsl-12.html). The main article
begins at http://www.tomshardware.com/network/20021203/index.html

It offers firewall protection and has an integrated print server, but not the
DSL modem you want. I already have a cable modem. The printer connects via a
parallel port, but does not support a USB connection for a printer.

My needs are connecting together a printer, cable modem, laptop and a desktop.
Slightly different from yours.
