D-Link, Netgear, or linksys. Yeah, actually go with Netgear, pretty good setup and most people like it. I have a Linksys and it was OK to set up. Good Luck with that new computer!

The only two brands I recommend after all my researching are Linksys and DLink. Netgear is tempting because of rebates and positive reviews, but I'm biased against them. Had a basic four port hub from them that, after a month, simply stopped working. A friggin' hub.
Here's a great deal on a Linksys: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t..._1/104-9209683-0913530?v=glance&s=pc&n=507846
All the features of the larger sized version of the router in a more portable config. Plus, it's $40 without mail in rebates. -
I love Netgear, easy to set up and very good support.

so i should get the b/g 54mb or 108 mb router.
-
I recently just asked the same question wheather i should get 108 or stick with 54. Yep i stuck to 54. They were saying 108 uses 2 54mb Channels to get the 108 which increases the throughput. I'd just stick with 54 if i were u, no point gettin 108 if your just going to use it for internet surfing.
-
Yeah 54mbps is plenty enough. 108mbps is just not worth it unless you will have like 10 computers on wireless or hooked up to the router at the same time. I have 11mbps (because of an internal card) and im happy
-
Ohh yeah i remember 11, Wasnt too long ago where i jumped to 54. But for internet surfing its is more than enough.

Get the $19.99 one from the Sunday ads. Almost every week someone has a 54 Mbs router at that price. And they all work pretty much the same.
