Whats the best kind of wireless router to use with a cable modem? I just need one to use around the house, nothing spectacular though. I have 3 meg cable which sucks, so I need to have as much speed as possible - b,g capable (I think I have a Broadcom wireless card)

for the price? I think its just b capable - probably not fast at all

it doesnt matter if you get b or g

you are only going to be as fast as the slowest connection: your ip

oh ok - yeah I usually only get like a meg/second or lower for speed, i know with linksys routers that Ive had before though I barely pulled half a meg for some reason

for the money its ok...belkin isn't known for making great consumer grade equipment (linksys is) but for $15.50 you can try it out.

i know tiger direct on capital had linksys 802.11b wireless routers for $20 a few months ago, i'm not sure if they still do tho.
