    If you want 802.11n, you will need to spend a little more than $50. If you want 802.11g, I second the WRT54g - I had one for years and it was the best "G" router I've ever seen.

    Yeah either get a Linksys then put DD-WRT on it. Or try a D-Link router, I have had good experiences with mine. Has never dropped internet unlike the Linksys gaming router my friend had that actually would not broadcast internet anymore. By the way my router is a DIR-625. If I'm right you should be able to get this off Newegg for around $50.
