If you're really looking for a new router definitely get the WRT-54GL with DD-WRT firmware. You can up the signal output if you need longer range, or decrease if that's the case, change pretty much every setting needed, and the best is the Quality of Service where you can specify what things get higher priority of your bandwidth. So, if you wanted your torrents to get more bandwidth when that's running, you can set it to uTorrent, or even just your IP/MAC address. Good for gaming when the Wii comes up with some good online games too.

It's only like $60 most places. Probably could find it cheaper too.
I upped the firmware because of problems I was having: Now everything seems to be solved, except it now gives me frequent "A network cable is unplugged" messages. I'm really dissatisfied with this router, and I'm rather thankful I didn't pay an arm and a leg.

Also, my Wii can't seem to connect anymore, but that may be the Wii's fault, I'm not sure (It's fucking up in unrelated ways).

So I'll probably check out your rec.
