I can get the D-Link setup for about $30 less after rebates then the Linksys setup.

The network will share a DSL line with two wired computers and another with the card.
There will be a little file sharing, but the files will be big.
And sometime in the future I plan on adding a media server to the network.

What do you guys suggest?

Thanks.

As far as the wired computers and sharing go, it does not matter which Router you use.

If the Wireless is short range, you can use the D-Link and save the money.

If you need long range and some special gimmicks get the WRT54, it provides more flexibility.

Get a WRT54G or GS if you can handle the price. It's got pretty much the best hardware spec of any consumer router plus it's open source so there's plenty of good 3rd party firmware.
