You are dealing with an entirely different animal in m0n0wall than one 
of the OTS wireless, broadband routers.  Your level of control is way 
higher.  In my opinion, with m0n0wall, you get commercial, business 
level features.  In that regard, there is no comparison in my mind.  I 
went looking for something (and found m0n0wall) for this very reason.

I can't say how it stacks up performance wise in a SOHO environment, so 
someone else will have to comment there, but from a feature set 
stand-point, there is no comparison to the OTS products.  m0n0wall blows 
them away.
