    I'm currently using my wired ethernet connection on my laptop for regular browsing and WOW, I have a intel 3945abg and need to buy a wireless router.

    So my question is which router is best for the 3945abg? (I know there are other factors but lets just say in your opinion) I here a lot of good and a lot of bad about the linksys wrt54g, so I might have to test it on my own. I'll be one room over from the wireless connection so it will be through one fairly thick wall but only about ten feet away.

    It doesn't have to run WOW, but that would be a plus.

    I'm using broadband ethernet now and have two other computers in the house that will need to remain wired.

    Which routers have you had the best luck with and do any of them run wow on a 3945abg or should I upgrade?

    well if you can get lucky and get one of the old linksys wrt54gs you can run dd-wrt comes with more options and can boost wireless power i run a wrt 54gs and make it connect to my 8054 108mps router usin dd-wrt firmware.
