My Belkin wireless router cratered and I want a decent wireless router in the sub $100 range for wireless laptop access and home lan. My picks are the Dlink DIR-615 (mixed reviews here and there) Trendnet TEW-632BRP and the Linksys WRT150N. The Dlink can be had at CC for 49.99 + tax so it is the least expensive. Or, if you have a suggestion for a different router I am open to suggestions. Thanks.

Go with the cheapest one. My DIR-625 is draft-N and lets me save & load the settings to and from a file on the pc. A great time-saver after power-loss or resetting the router. I think you should invest in a good antenna for the laptop if it's outside the room of the router. A directional antenna can be had for $20-ish and can improve the signal strength.
