I pulled out a spare router with 100baseT the other day and it seemed ancient.

In my house the main router is still a Linksys WRT54G. All the desktop computers (there's eight in my family) are hooked up via Asoka Pluglink powerline adapters (total of five of them) except for my wife's and my room, where the powerlink goes into another Linksys WRT54G set up as a wireless AP. (It runs my desktop and the Chromecast and whatever phone/tablet/laptop that's in this area of the house.) Upstairs (in addition to the switches that distribute the powerlinks to more than one computer) I've got a Linksys WAP54G for anything that needs wireless connections upstairs. I used to have several Asus wireless router/APs but I get better reliability and higher speeds with the powerline adapters and the wired switches. And I really don't give a rat's pajamas if they're not 1GB connections. Our Internet speed is 60 Mbps (a little more, actually) and the powerline adapters range from 15-25 Mbps (mine, the slowest) to up to 45-50 Mbps directly upstairs. It works pretty well. I don't move huge files (no reason to).
