Hey all
Well the order for my Dell laptop is in and it should be here in a week or 2. I've been looking around for a wireless router to do away with the headaches of wire routing. I currently have the Dlink DGL 4100 gaming router (i know i know i shoulda just bought the wireless one when i bought this a year ago but it was like 50 bucks more expensive at the time)
I only requirements are that it have Wireless G capability, the option to open at least 3 to 5 ports or more, and it should be under 60 bucks, portability is also nice but not required, also it doesn't need to have any ports other then a WAN port seeming i already have my dlink for all my wired needs.
I've been looking mostly on newegg because they're really my favorite when it comes to retail computer parts. These are the 4 choices I've come up with but the reviews kind of contradict each other so if anyone could voice some opinions that'd be nice.
1. LinkSYS WRT54GL - looking at this cuz it's a name brand
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16833124190
2. NetGear WGR614 - this is also a name brand... and it looks pretty lol

3. Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 - Only have seen this brand pop up a few times but it seems to have a monster load of customization options and it's only $53 bucks
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16833162134
4. level one WAP-0004 - I really wish this one was less then 50 bucks because it looks like the ultimate portable wireless device
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16833327013
Well those are my top 4, if anyone has any suggestions or links to other routers that would work for me then that would be awsome. Also is there any other device thats capable of broadcasting wireless? I looked around but all the antenna's i found are just for boosting or receiving wireless.
thanks
