Regarding routers, a lot of people (myself included) use and can recommend the Linksys WRT54G range of routers. These (AFAIK) should handle 10 Meg easily.
One thing to be aware of is that the latest V5 WRT54G routers use a different operating system to earlier versions, this means that the use of 'third party' firmware is no longer possible.

- a WRT54GL model will apparently be available, based on Linux, which can use third party firmware, but will be more expensive.

- in the meantime the consensus seems to be that the 'new' V5 model of this router has less memory, a different OS & performance issues.

Advice seems to be hang out for the 'L' model, or try to get a version 4
