Belkin ROuters

Not sure about the belkin one, but if you guys see another better router in the range of $100.00 or less give me suggestions, but has to be from the dell store since this is a coupon.
thanks in advanced

I am currently using the 2Wire (not listed above, from AT&T). It's a router and modem combined (saves some wiring and configuration) and works great with multiple devices. I have a large network at my house, and it works great at T1 speed. (1 iTouch (me), 2 PSP's (1=me), 2 PC's(1=me), 1 Mac (me), 1 Network Printer, and 1 occasional laptop.) of course not all of them are running on the network simultaneously
. But Linksys is always good, and I hear you can hack it to make it 3X the speed or range. or something like that.

DFU Restore Mode:
1. Power phone OFF. 2. Hold power + home for 10 seconds. 3. Let go of power and continue to hold home until iTunes finds the phone.

linksys ftw, never had a problem with them.
And it will be like a taco inside a taco within a Taco Bell that's inside a KFC that's within a mall that's inside your dream! Springboard screwy after reboot? Here is the fix

A friend of mine recently bought a NetGear router, and we tried the whole day to get it working with vista. I told her bring it back and get a wireless linksys b/g router. Brought home the linksys, plugged it in, wallah we have a connection.
