Any detailed router comparisons

I'm trying to choose an ADSL/wifi router that has specific
features, but none of the reviews I can find go into detail.
Are there any sites where I can search by feature for the
router of my dreams?

My specific requirements include:

Must be a proper switching router, not just a hub
Wifi supporting AES encryption (a.k.a. CCMP)
Full config control via ssh and telnet, not just a web interface
Prefer web interface to work with older browsers (no javascript or CSS)
NAT Port forwarding for incoming connections to my web server
Allows one station to monitor network in promiscuous mode
Counts data transferred, preferably distinguishing each station
Secure and stable

What are the most likely makes/models to match those requirement?

Thanks hugely for any help you can offer.

I think for something like that, you either pay loads of money
or you need to run something like IPCop liveCD software.
Its free and all open source and you can configure to
hearts content.

I can't believe that there aren't any affordable mainstream routers
that will do 90% of what I list above. D is not essential if I can
use C instead. Most routers will do A, C, E, F, G(i), and H so
I'm really only asking for B and G(ii). At a push I could even
write my own program to perform G(ii) if the router supports F.
So the main thing I require is B, ie. which wifi routers support
AES encryption?

Can anyone name even one router that supports AES encryption?

The Buffalo range appear to use the Broadcom 802.11 chipset which appears to
support AES encryption.

dont know any comparison sites that go that deep into detail.

adslguide.org.uk reviews read like they are written by an engineer rather
than a publicist.....

try any of the cisco stuff in the new ISR range - 87x probably fits fairly
well.
generic pages at www.cisco.com/go/isr

870s specifically:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/...380/index.html
but - not consumer stuff so not cheap.
