Default Find me a wireless router

OK, I think I have determined that it is indeed the router causing all my connectivity issues. I had my cable modem hooed right to my PC and it has been fine for 2 days. I have no idea why it happened with 2 different linksys routers with 2 different firmwares, but whatever.

So, I need to buy a router today after work. I am looking at BB or Target. I would love to be able to get a nice one online, but I need it today as I am going away for the weekend, so I need to set thuis up for the tennants before I jet. I am looking for something decent with a good wireless signal strength. I am looking to spend $80-$100. I don't know much about networking or wireless, so any help is appreciated. Remember, it needs to be in stock at either of those stores. If it heklp, my zip is 01605. Thanks

If I'm at the right store near you I don't know but out of the choices there I would go with this one(Below). I would stay away from belkin, and from what I've heard the linksys routers that are available on the website are not that reliable. If you can get a hold of a Linksys WRT54GL,the best one IMO then go with that, or the GS model.

From the Target store(if this is the right one also) I would go with this one. Hope this helps you some. GL
