Guest repliedSMC Barricade is good, I've got 7 port one. Sweet stuff, the only complain is that my model does not support WiFi
Dont buy cheap Belkin (40 quid) stuff -- its not playing well on BlueYonder network. Be careful with support for certain internet protocols: I am not expect in this area, but AFAIK some routers do miss out certain nice and must to have protocols, make sure you read reviews, especially from people who use it on your cable network!

Certainly sounds like you have all the features you would need for general home b/band use.
I have used LinkSys products before and they work nicely. I think for about the same price as the one you have listed you can get one with 802.11b (wireless LAN) capability. (Naturally you'll need an 802.11b card for your PC(s)/Laptop as well.)
If you search Amazon, say, for LinkSys ......

I have an NTL cable modem connection and am looking at options for a dedicated router/firewall device.
I have found this Vigor 2200 E product for £103+VAT.
Features are:
The Vigor2200E is a combined router, firewall and Ethernet switch designed to provide broadband Internet connectivity to your LAN. It is compatible with any broadband device which provides a 10BaseT Ethernet connection, for example a cable modem or ADSL feed with Ethernet. The Vigor2200E is particuarly ideal for cable modem services from NTL and Telewest BlueYonder. Once installed, all users on your LAN can surf the web or download files simultaneously.
