I'm new to the forums and already i'm hitting you up for answers i know!

But i'm kinda in a hurry here so i didn't have a lot of time to research. I need to buy a router for my new apartment ASAP, since both my roommate and I need to use the internet a lot. We have cable internet and there are 2 of us using it. It mostly get used for school stuff, games (World of Warcraft), and online poker. Wireless is a plus since we both have laptops. I want something good but not outrageously priced. Any help would be appreciated and try to flame me too much.

get a linksys WRTG V4, very good price to performance.
in additum what kind of walls do you have? if they are concrete then the signal might not get through very well, hopefully the 2 antenna's that it has helps with directing the signal more effectively, but dont bank on it.

The cheapest i've seen is a buffalo WYR-G54, aviod! biggest piece of S*** that i've used.
