Wireless Router Suggestions

[Ketchup345]

It appears that my router is dying, so does anyone have suggestions for a Wireless-G router?

The dying one is a Lynksys WRT54G.

that one works just fine, it's the most popular and widely used one i get calls about dealing with xbox live issues

The one router that I never had problems with was this one by D-Link (http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=501&sec=1). I needed the capability of it though as the rooms that were getting the signal were in the lower levels of the house, ergo, lots of cement, metal, and wood to interfere with the router. Still, it pulled through like a champ and we got fairly good signal. So, it's great for a wireless solution. Currently I'm on one of D-Link's first g series routers and it's a steaming pile of poo but that might be the shitty connection here as well. (Probably both)

Good one for most uses, but if anyones using it for the 360 it's listed as a non-compatible product. That and the stupid 360 can't take the N spectrum....dumb microsoft

I guess it's good on the two points I don't have a 360 and if I did it would be directly wired anyway. Plus, N was still just a draft when the 360 came out so that's pretty understandable. But a simple WEB would fix that (I used a Linksys 802.11b WEB to get my GC online before I went wired).

I don't have an XBox of any type, and if I did, it would be close enough to wire.

How about a router that costs about $70USD at max?

Right now it looks like Best Buy is having a big networking sale. If you want to have N capability as well, this one (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8305568&type=product&id=1173577562535) is right above your maximum. However, if you have no interest in N capability this is the G version (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7650455&type=product&id=1134699413343) with rangebooster and is well within your budget.
