We use Soekris boxes for Wireless APs and routers in small towns.   
They work quite well for our needs.  If you are looking for software  
to do QoS/Firewall I would suggest looking at the following:

http://www.pfsense.com/  - WebGUI, QoS, firewall(pf), FreeBSD based.  
It has a lot of other neat features, I believe it needs a 4801.
leaf.sourceforge.net  - We are using wisp-dist, and planning on  
moving to bering-uclibc , It has shorewall firewall and QoS  
available.  It also has alot of other software packages for advanced  
use.

You can also go the route of installing linux/freeBSD/openBSD and  
build your own system.

Not sure what you mean by this.

options also.  just my $0.02.
