I'm not very knowledgeable about wireless routers, and I'd like some recommendations on a good one.
Preferences:
1. Reputable model that's been around awhile
2. Secure -- I know to set up WPA, so is that good enough to keep poaching neighbors out or are there some routers that can be hacked anyway by a cyberweasel with too much time on his hands?
3. Reasonably easy for a novice to set up & configure
4. One that the Anandtech community is familiar with
5. Preferably under $100
6. At least Wireless G
And do I need Wireless N or is G gonna be good enough? I'd like as much range as possible, which has me thinking an N network might be better? I dunno.
I know the Linksys WRT54GL is popular, but I'd like to compile a list of 3 or 4 recommended ones & then decide between them. TIA.
