I've had my setup for a few years. They likely have different model numbers now.
Anyway, this is the bridge I've used. It had great range... I could get 1000 feet in clear areas. Downside is it need AC power, but the Vonage adapter does too, so no big deal for me. For the routers on my side of the bridge, I've used both a old standard Vonage router based on the linksys router (1 wan port, 1 phone port, and 3 ethernet ports) and also have used other routers behind my bridge too if I wanted to use my own private wireless network as a subnet from the hotel.
Here is just one old review I could find by googling on the WGE101:
