I've been working on your question and I haven't been able to find
market share numbers for spefic router models.

Would you be interested in router market share by brand; for example
Cisco , Juniper etc.

Market share numbers for the different vendors are not what I am
looking for - I am interested to learn information about specific
wireless router models and their market shares. I am trying to
comprise a list ot the top 20 most popular models in the US market
today. Numbers of unit shipments could also help. As I will probably
need to update this list on a regular basis, finding an information
source who constantly monitors these top model list would be of
highest value.

The most popular wireless router in the US(and in someother places) is
the  Linksys WRT54GL Wireless router
(http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16833124190)

This product is very good and it can be also modified to gaim even
more power and control

Other powerful routers can be found at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/index.html  based on
how/where will you use it/them.

the best wireless router for speed, service, help is linksys. I have a
linksys router and the simplicity of the setup is so easy even a child
could do it. There service and support is out of this world. I could
not figure out how to put a WEP on my wireless router, so i contact
them on there free online chat took 2 minute for me to be talking with
a customer service representative and guide my right though the
process. I could not have asked for a better product. Hope this helps
