Recommend me a good router?

[M4d-K10wN]

Well, I'm a total newblet to networking, seeing how all this time I only had one computer in the house. Now i'm getting another one, and apparently, I need a router to be able to share my DSL connection accross two computers. I don't really know what router I should get, but I would like one that's capable of at least 100mbit Ethernet. I would need cat7 cables for this, right?.. Also, I'm scared of linux! And cost is more important at this point than anything else; besides I don't want any security features such as firewall... I have firewall on my nF3 250Gb chipset.

Just get a bsic linksys hard-wired cable/dsl router. should be more than $50. no you just need Cat5.

I use Linksys. Just get a small 4 port one or even a wireless G unit. Most any router is decent for your situation. Even a Hub could be used with just 2 computers, but routers are more fun and intelligent.

Here are 6 routers from Linksys you can look at:

I have a D-Link wireless 614+ and a Cisco 1760. I personally have no problem with my D-Link router, and never had any problems with their wired ones, (604P, 704P), I generally haven't messed with the linksys products because of a problem I had with their hardware about 3 years ago. The D-Link wireless series of routers seem to be on everyone's crap list, so I'd say try the Linksys wireless g series that everyone seems to have and hate less than the D-Link, or get a wired D-Link. I have a 604P I'm not using, if you want that, PM me.

The top one only has 2 ethernet ports, so I can't use that, I guess. And the one below it is way too expensive for a router.

How's this one

or this one

Both are very cheap and have 4 ports.

$54 is too much for a router? That's pocket change.

Get a Hub then, way cheaper. You don't really need any intelligent routing with 2 computers.

I've got an SMC 7004VBR, and it works very well. Picked it up for less than $20 shipped a while back.
