My current router (speedstream) is horrible for port forwarding, and I'm
looking into getting a new router. I'd like to find a router that offers
the easier way to forward ports. Anyone know some brands I should look at?

If youre doing a lot of port forwarding, maybe NAT isnt the best solution.

You could ask your ISP to give you an IP block, then assign each of your
PC's a WAN IP instead of a LAN one.

The WAN thing isn't really an option.
