I've signed up for DSL service which requires that I use their bridge for internet connection. This means no firewall. I want to connect both my and my roomates computers. I'm guessing that buying a router and connecting it to the bridge would be the best way to go. Any suggestions for a router (no need for a bunch of features I won't use). Thanks for any suggestions.

My personal fave is the SMC due to the printer port. All of them are fine, though.

Good luck.

I think that the SMC is one of best values in a router. However, it seems that Linksys is the most reputable brand, though the others are good too.
