You can go to wal mart and get a simple belkin 54g for like 35 dollars. For most people, that's all they need. Something that will get them from point A to point B wirelessly with 4 ethernet ports.

Now, if you're a hardcore gamer, or you have a large living area, then you might need routers that support MIMO (memory in memory out) or even N (note: you need an adapter in your computer that supports N also)

Shit, if you're really cheap, you can get a router off newegg for like $20!

sorry to thread jack, just hoping a good network person enters this page and comments on my situation seeing how yours seems good.

when this comes back in stock or if you can find it somewhere else I would recommend it:

I picked it up for $30 and it is amazing, very fast, great connection, and setup in like 30 seconds. TP-Link is my new #1 choice in networking.

MotzCTG, I just ordered that TP-Link. I will try that router after reading the reviews and your recommendation. Cant beat $30 if I can get a good connection for all my game systems and laptop.
