Wireless Router Suggestions

[jstri]

Ok, I'm new to the world of wireless and just got myself a 1.4GHz PM laptop. It has an integrated Intel PRO/Wireless 802.11g card and I would like to be able to use my laptop/internet around the house without being stuck downstairs next to my desktop/cable-modem.
I have no idea which routers will work with what brand of wireless cards, so I am pretty much lost for a second. About the router, does it hook up the same to a wireless connection as with a cat5 connection? Meaning, loading the product software and following that procedure.
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a router that could support a network of 3-4 computers, and if possible, a network printer. I just need to be able to surf the web from each computer, and still keep it looking as one IP address going out, so my cable company doesnt try to charge me extra for the service i already pay them for. I have been looking at the D-Link Di-624 and it seems to be fairly nice, besides not having a dedicated printer line.
Any help will be appreciated, and thanks for having patients with a newbie to wireless.

In my limited experience, my Linksys BEFW11S4 has performed better than my new Actiontec GT701-WG and also has more configuration options. It's the 802.11b model, but I would guess that their g router is pretty much the same other than support for higher throughput. Any b or g router is supposed to work with your card, so if you see one with the features you like you can be reasonably confident it will work.
Setting up the router is plenty easy. There's no software to install on your computers. Just plug into a wired port and use your web browser to access its built-in setup page, and from there on out you can use it wirelessly.
Newegg has wireless print servers starting at $80, which you can use to send print jobs wirelessly and have the freedom to put your printer almost anywhere. They also have at least two wireless routers with print servers for even less than a stand-alone wireless print server, but they use a direct USB connection from the router to the printer so they would have to be in the same room. If you search Newegg for "wireless print server" you'll get a lot of choices to look at.
Like I said, I've had better results from Linksys than from Actiontec, but I can't speak for any of the other brands.
