Go for it!
The WRTP54G is a decent wireless router, and by that I mean that it is capable of performing the functions of a wireless access point and an Internet router.
However, it lacks the stability for demanding applications, and the firmware for the device is controlled by Vonage.
So, if you're sitting on an Internet account with very high upstream bandwidth, and you don't tend to use a lot of demanding applications like BitTorrent or large FTP uploads while on a call, there's a good chance you'll be perfectly content with a WRTP54G.
If, like me, you have fairly tight upstream bandwidth and/or you tend to use your bandwidth heavily, the WRTP54G is probably going to cause you all sorts of frustration. In my case, I put a router in front of the WRTP54G... this was after a couple of months of network hell, with the WRTP54G crashing (due to some default settings on the entire Linksys router series, and most other consumer routers), and bringing my network down 2-3 times a day, and being unable to do ANYTHING while on the phone without reports of choppy audio on the other end.
Now, with my new router, my network just... works. Even my limited upstream of 256k and my constant use of BitTorrent doesn't affect my Vonage line, and my new router has never crashed on me for any reason whatsoever. Even under normal usage, the voice quality on the Vonage router has improved significantly thanks to the lowered demand on the WRTP54G (freeing up valuable memory and processor time to handle voice).
