    I am looking to buy a dsl wireless router for laptop usage in the home. I have a dsl wireless setup - but would like ideas on the right router. I bought one yesterday at a big-box store, and it wouldn't work.

    Any ideas on the "best" model are greatly appreciate. Best = easy setup, works, reliable.

    I'd recommend a Linksys router too. I have one (WRT54G) and it works fine. The only con I have to say is that if you are going to wonder away from the router, then don't get a cheap Linksys.

    jetstar/lolcakelazors - thank you very much for the ideas. I ended up returning the Belkin today, and about 30-minutes later I received a dsl high-speed upgrade "offer" in the mail. I called up and ordered that package. I appreciate the ideas very much.
