    I'm looking for a router for home, I'm not sure what kind of wireless card I have, but the notebook is a SONY SZ320. Speed is big thing, as so are looks. I've been eyeing the D-LINK DI-624M WIRELESS G MIMO ROUTER 108 MBPS DI624M. I just wanted to know how good this router actually is? As well as your recommendations for other routers.

    Dlink's DIR-655 is also a pretty router. Any wireless G or wireless N router will work fine. But you have to pay a premium for wireless N, and you really don't get that much better of a connection.
    But wireless N routers can still send a wireless G signal, which is what your laptop can pick up.

    dir-655 can be found for around 130.

    I just looked it up, and I definitely like its design. The D-LINK DI-624M is a wireless G router correct? I've been looking at the NETGEAR WPN824 as well. Do you have any experience with either or these routers, or companies?
