I can recommend the Fritz!Box range from AVM ([url]www.avm.de/en[/url]) but they're
not cheap. 2 or 3 phone ports, depending on model, plus wireless if
required.

However, if you only need an ATA to plug into an existing router, then
something like the Linksys PAP2 with 2 phone ports would be suitable.
