The Linksys router has been around forever and is one of the most widely known. The WRT54GL broadband router is a popular router to control their home network. Now owned by Cisco, the router is quick to setup, simple to use, and easy to maintain and administer.

The router is a combination of an access point to provide wireless G connectivity, a four port switch to provide wired connections, and a router to provide security to your network.

This isn't the cheapest at $60, but you'll appreciate spending the extra money after seeing how easy it was to set up and start using.
