I've had good luck with Linksys. But in reality they are all pretty much the same thing.

Yep, throw a dart or start tossing coins. If a budget NAT router has a particular feature set you like then go with that one, otherwise get the cheapest one you can find.

Unless you need wireless access now or in the near future, the Linksys BEFSR81 is a solid choice, IMHO.

Spec:
Intel P4 2.4B
MSI 645E Max-U Mobo
1GB DDR333
R9600XT 128MB
SB Live 5.1
WD 60GB
Maxtor 120GB
LG DVD+-R/RW
WIN2K PRO SP4

Linksys, enough said! I love thoes routers. Just get the ones with the firewall set!

Easy to install and even easier to re-install
