Hi Halcyon and
to the forum m8
Nice to see you back m8
Everything you have posted looks fine... 802.1b is backwards compatible but remember that you will slow down any 54g (54mb in theory anyway) clients as the network will only go as fast as the slowest device...
As for router recomendations - I am sure the other members will recomend something for you
