recommendations on small profile router

currently I have one ethernet outlet in my living room. I currently have 2 devices that allow for ethernet hook ups and I'm thinking about buying a slingbox. I'm looking for some sort of small profile router or switch that is cheap and will get the job done. I do have a spare linksys but I'd prefer something smaller.
 
I'm not sure it matters if I have gig-e or not... unless I'm mistaken. I don't anticipate much growth. I think 4 ports should suffice.

what is your current router?
 
i guess i should have been more clear. I'm not looking to replace my router (actiontec provided by verizon). I need a splitter or switch on one of my lines. so basically:

cablein --> actiontec router --> rooms 1,2, & 3
room3 --> new router ----> tivo, hddvd, slingbox
