Which router for a /29 subnet?

Hello everybody,

I'm in the process of setting up a network in which my internet
connectivity provider is assigning me a /29 subnet ( 8 ips - 5 useable
- others for network address, broadcast and gateway I presume ).

I need an ethernet router ( not DSL/Cable ) that can be configured to
route a subnet. What brand and models do you recommend? Will the
typical Netgear, Linksys and D-Link $50-$100 dollar router work? Or
must I buy a router that has extra features that allow it to be
configured to route a subnet without NAT and DHCP?

Thanks,
Jim Norton

Simplest solution (and cheapest) is to put a switch between ISP modem and
use several low-cost routers.
All routers can have/manage individual LAN subnets, or - if bridged -
combine more as one subnet into a virtual single with several gateways.
As far as my experience goes in SOHO, DLink (eg DI604 etc) is my preferred
since easy configurable and very reliable, but that's a matter of
preferences of course
