I'm going on SBS dsl, have two winxp computer side by side. No need for
wireless. What router would be good to hookup the two to the dsl?

Thanks

The difference in price between wireless routers and wired-only routers is
so trivial, it's silly NOT to get the wireless (we're literally talking
about $5-10, sometimes nothing!). Personally, I've had good luck w/ D-Link
routers, assuming this is just a home setup. I was in Office Max yesterday,
they were selling the D-Link DI-604 4-port router (no wireless) for $15
(after rebate), plus tax. In contrast, Amazon was recently selling the
D-Link DI-514 4-port router *with* wireless (802.11b) for $17 (after
rebate), no tax, shipped free (expired a day or two ago). That's what I
mean, the difference is so slight (in this example, considering taxes, the
wireless is actually cheaper than wired-only), it's silly not to get the
wireless. If you don't need the wireless, no problem, just disable it. It
also increases its resale value. At these prices, it almost doesn't matter
which brand you get, try it and see what you like, you're only out a few
bucks anyway (you can dump any rejects on eBay).
