Well, they gave me D-Link DI-624 which is not bad but I need to find small modem so I can put infront of my Giganet switch inside the wall. I try to put that D-Link but wireless signal will be very low. I try to put my Linksys with similar result.
Try to do some searching and found Siemens 5851 or the new 5880 might work but at $200 price tag.
Anybody knows anything cheaper? Smaller modem will be perfect.

Are you talking about a MODEM or a ROUTER?
All of the model #s you listed above, based on my quick googling, are ROUTERS.
Anyway, which Linksys router model do you have? If it's a WRT54G or WRT54GS, list which VERSION NUMBER too (i.e. v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, etc.)

I have the famous Linksys with Firmware Version: Alchemy-V1.0 v3.37.6.8sv.
I don't mind router but preferably a Giganet Router.

If your Linksys router has Alchemy loaded on it, clearly it's a WRT54G/GS v4 or lower. I suggest switching it over to DD-WRT. While I believe Alchemy supports it too, DD-WRT lets you boost the router's Wifi signal. The WRT54G also has removaable antennas. If you want to tuck the router away (out of sight), connecting externally mounted antennas will do wonders for your signal. The external antennas can be mounted up high UNOBSTRUCTED but out of the way.
As for a Giganet router, do you mean a 108mpbs+ on the wifi side? If so, DD-WRT is compatible w/ other routers too (i.e. other than just Linksys), some of which may be Giganet. Check out the DD-WRT home page for a list of routers.
If you're wanting the router to have Gigabit ETHERNET ports, that's not going to benefit you that much. You anyway said you already have a Gigabit SWITCH. If so, connect all of your Gigabit devices to the switch. Internally they'll communicate w/ one another at Gigabit speeds. Externally to the internet, the router's 100mb ports won't slow down connectivity even at FiOS speeds since 100mpbs is faster than that.

trying to play :-
Firmware: DD-WRT v23 (12/25/05)
Time: 14:23:40 up 3 min, load average: 0.37, 0.29, 0.12
Look like a sweet program. Interface won't work in IE 7. Firefox is fine.
