Ok computer geeks. Tell me what's the best-cheap router? I use right now a D-Link DI-614+ and it likes to randomly change settings whenever it feels like and it's getting annoying.

I just want something basic that can give me internet on more than one compter.

Do you want a wireless router or an ethernet (wired) router?

This: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833122005 is the one ive got and its dirt cheap and very reliable.

Well I read the reviews and people said that it resets itself and loses the wireless connection a lot. My current router does this and it gets annoying. What's something thats good to maintain a singal? It's not like I'm being too cheap, it's just I dont want to have to pay for more than i dont need. I just want something reliable that will keep me connected and not drop the connection every 10 minutes.

my old router used to do that, i just got it replaced as it was under warranty, its fine now, this looks reliable for a not too bad price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833162173


edit: this is also very good: http://www.axentmicro.com/huzrb/partdetails~af~gle~mp~WGR614NA.htm

Ok, I think I found a rather good one. It has four ports, plus wireless access. It's another D-Link, but it's the 624 version. And I think I've found you the best price (after rebate ;))!

But if you want to try it, you should act fast, because the rebate expires at the end of this month. If you do get it, pay by credit card because PayPal takes at least 3-4 days to go through.

By the way, I haven't read the reviews yet, but it has a 4/5 rating, so I think people like it. And like I said, it's the best for being so cheap ;)
