I had a LinkSys BEFSR41 for about two days before I got fed up.  LinkSys 
_used_ to be good at making hardware - until Cisco bought them out.  Now 
they make junk.  Cisco makes junk too unless you shell out major cash. 
D-Link is what I recommend to people who ask me - the routers D-Link 
makes are quite impressive for the pricetag and I've never had a problem 
setting up their hardware (the software can be somewhat difficult 
depending on the complexity of the setup and whether you are running 
WinXP or not).  My most recent D-Link wireless router purchase was $20 
(US) (after rebate).  They have gone on sale for the past couple years 
the day after Thanksgiving (usually OfficeMax or Best Buy).  Also, 
D-Link has one of the niftiest wireless cards I've ever seen - a USB 
device that is only slightly wider and barely thicker than a USB thumbdrive:

Please excuse me while I totally geek out.
