I want to get a new wireless router this weekend. May I have some suggestions as to what brand I should get?

D-Link, Netgear, and Belkin. Linksys has been going downhill since they were bought by Cisco.

The big thing is that if you dont need gigabit lan or 108mbps wan (which I doubt you do) then just about any 802.11g router would work.
I suggest the D-Link 634M as its bitchen, but thats just me

yes I recommend the 634M
it can be had from Frys for $63

with a POTENTIAL $20 rebate

The rebate states 'for participating retailers' and Frys may not be one of them. Their site doesn't mention a rebate but you cannot trust Frys' site, it's shit. For instance, try this out, which keyword is better for finding the 634M router on their site? '634M' or 'dlink' Their search engine is no Google, and their site never lists all of the wonderful little products you can find in the actual stores.
