Which router for me?

I've been using a wired Microsoft MN-100 Base Station Router, with my Optimum Online Cable Modem. This router has been hooked up to My PC, My Xbox 360, and my brother's pc.

Now, my brother bought a laptop with wifi, and insists on a wireless router so he can travel about the house with his new laptop and be connected. (His desktop will now be my sister's.)

I want to stay wired, as the modem and router are only a couple feet away from my PC and Xbox 360. So, I have no need for wireless.

My main concerns for this new router, are for gaming with my pc & especially xbox 360, and torrents. My brother wouldn't know the difference anyway, so the wireless capabilities do not have to be stellar.

So, which routers should I be looking at? I want something that works great as a wired router, with wireless capability for my brother's laptop. There will be no sharing over a network or anything like that.

My brother bought a D-Link DIR-615, but I'd return it if there's something better out there for the money. But if it will not make a difference for what I'm using it for, then I'll just keep the D-Link.

Thanks, guys.
