If it's going to be open to the public, I would run a separate machine. Get something cheap like a Via C3 if all you want to do is run an access point for a few people off your home connection. For anything more involved (UTM, lots of users) I would build a uATX rig around an e3300 or similar with 2-4GB RAM.

Don't know about native support (Duckie or Manyak might), but you could probably run a Windows host to handle the wireless support and run your router OS of choice under VMWare.

Well theres not going to be that many people on the network at once, i would probably say like a max of 10-20 maybe 30 but thats really streching it, tops. And I do need a little amount of processing power/ram to run another program on the server at the same time the router software is running... so yeah. Anyways which software feeds my needs best???
Thanks
