I bought the Dlink DI-624 back when it was $70-85, but I think you can get it for less than $50 now with rebates. I really like it, it supports b,g, and turbo g (108mps) and has four wired ports, and an easy to use interface. The turbo g adapter cards are still pretty expensive $35-50, but you can get g's pretty cheap.

Depending on the size of the house, you'll want a more reliable router.

I'd suggest the WRT54G by Linksys. My D-Link DI-524 is really flaky. Wouldn't recommend it for big houses.

I got the DI-524 (or whatever the non-"superG" version is) for like $20 AR, plus matching PCI adapter also $20 AR, from Best Buy a few weeks ago. They work pretty well for me...I didn't need the SuperG junk.
