Hey, I want to find a router that is very reliable and has wireless capabilities. Its for the place Im renting, so computer illiterates should be able to use it once I set it up. Any knowledge on the subject for brands or prices (Jason??) Thanks all

The most popular is the Linksys WRT54G, or any of the new D-Links. Although you could just get whichever is on sale, there aren't too many differences.

Also keep in mind that I work in retail electronics sales, so... yeah.

I'd recommend the Linksys
I've had random problems with the D-link I bought, but no issues with the Linksys
With any consumer electronic, you get what you pay for.

W00T for CISCO, well a division of it anyway.
I personally like SMC, but I don't know much about their wireless support, not a big issue for me lol

I'd probably take this one as it's the open source, Linux version:

As previously stated, popular for its hacking ability:

Dlink if you want wired, wireless, and VOIP:

Vonnage locked in......so the other one's better:

SMC are getting harder to come by. I think the whole "value networking" thing just didn't pay them enough.
