thanks in advance,

I've had good experiences with Netgear, but the model depends on what you want it for.

Yes, wired or wireless....?!

I love my Linksys but the Dlink offers some nice feature that I can use, ie: ip blocking. If you do go wireless, do yourself a favor and read the manuals for the wireless router and card to make sure they are secure!! At the very least use WEP. Also, if your router has a white list for MACs that can have access, use it!!!

I plan on mainly doing wired. I might get a latptop later this year so having wireless capabilities is a plus.

I picked up a $30us SpeedStream DSL/4-port router that I've just had nothing but great luck with.

i would get one of these

but if you cant afford that then one of these

I have a DLink DI604, and I'm very pleased with it. It routs, it has DHCP, firewall, webbed interface etc... It's certainly good enough for me.

I can recommend the Linksys WRT54G (preferably V2). If performs well, is reasonably cheap and is very hackable (with a multitude of alternative firmwares available). It also has wireless.
In fact I am currently using it only as an access point, as I've now got a VPN router.

never ever ever ever ever ever again will i ever buy linksys product again.
