Can anyone here recommend a good wireless router?

This isn't an answer to your direct question but these work great.

There were too many walls and too far a distance to go in my house for a wireless router to work.  Those relay things do nothing by the way.  But the powerline adapter works like a charm.  Hopefully a simply router will work for you.  But here is an alternative if it doesn't.

I've got one too in my basement, and it covers my entire 2 story house + basement no problem.  Mine's not hacked either, but I might check it out...

I have a Netgear WGT624 setup.  One of those Black Friday ads has those on sale for $9.99 I believe.  It was CC possibly.  The recommended cards can be bought used on ebay for around $30 apiece.  (311T for desktops, 511 for notebooks.)

I forgot to mention in my original post that I'd prefer a router with a broadband modem built in. My current modem is unsuitable for using with a router as it connects to my PC using USB.

I'm really liking the fact that the WRT54G is Linux based and hackable, but unfortunately as far as I can tell it doesn't have a modem built in. Also, the Linksys models that come with a modem (WAG54G etc.) don't appear to be hackable yet. Santoro can you confirm this?

2Wire makes some DSL modems with built-in wireless. Do you have cable or DSL broadband?
