i have a netgear MR814 router, its pretty nice, easy to setup, the firewall isnt as robust as id like, but its not to shabby

before i tried a linksys and it was a pain in the ass, the setup was a b1tch, and it would drop my wireless connections

but i have friends with linksys and they are happy with it
before i read about netgear and that it has good range, and signal strength, and most of the time now the "B" routers are getting cheap since they seem to push the "G" standard alot now
w3rd..

I use a D-Link DI-614+ with both my eMac (1.25GHZ) and iBook (G4 800MHZ + Airport Extreme)...and cable modem.

The cable modem is plugged into the wirless router (ethernet - WAN port), then the eMac is plugged into one of the 4 ports (it is also a 4 port switch), and finally I can move around the house (usually upstairs) and work on the iBook via wireless. Speed is excellent!

Hope this helps!

Cheers
