I am in the market for a new wireless router. I have 2 vista pcs and 1 XP notebook (802.11b). Comcast broadband. I do a lot of downloading (torrents). Which router do you guys recommend I purchase?

I was thinking about Linksys WRT54GS? Does Speedboost work? Also what are versions? Should I be concern about which version to buy? Can the earlier versions be upgraded to the latest via firmware upgrade?

I have the ZyXEL x-550 and have had no problems. Easy to set up including the security. It replaced a Netgear I was having problems although it's the only Netgear I had a problem with. As far as I know there is nothing wrong with Linksys except they're generally more expensive
