Safe Luxury

Anybody have recommendation for an affordable wireless router for home user with decent security features?

I read that WEP is not safe, as well as WPA-PSK. It's costly to have WPA or WPA2 with RADIUS server for home user. VPN would be a good idea, but VPN client software is expensive for Netgear wireless router (the only affordable wireless router with VPN). So, I don't know what the decent options are for my under $100 budget. All I have in mind is something with: - Dual active Firewall (NAT and SPI). - Intrusion Detection (IDS). - WPA and WPA2 (PSK type, I guess). - Ability to disable SSID broadcast and DHCP server. - Logging feature of clients that request connection. - Access policy control (support VLAN). If it's possible I still want the VPN, but I'm just daydreaming probably. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
