    Hey guys, just registered with the forum, and am trying to figure things out here. Maybe my question has been answered elsewhere, but I havent' found the means for "searching" this forum.
    I just ordered a Sager NP2096. I'm not really into gaming, I just want a reliable laptop. Having said that, and being comfortable with my choice,....I am not so comfortable with choosing a "Router." Would appreciate any help you can provide.

    Thanks,
    Buddy

    That would be better asked in the networking and wireless section of the forum. Although from what i know pretty much any wireless G router will do its job, from Linksys or Belkin.

    Are you just going to use the router for internet access or will you be using it for a home lan as well?

    I recommend sticking with dlink or linksys and depending on the wireless nic in your laptop, select a router capable of wireless N technology.
