[Leaplist] low end SoHo wifi router/ritter as Bryan likes to call them

[Jesse Rhoads]

I will second the recommendation of Buffalo.  I got mine from newegg a few years back.  They are the best low-cost router out there, IMHO.  We've rehashed this brand war many times on this list.  
Now that Tiger Direct bought CompUSA you may find a deal or two there... but haven't looked there  lately so I can't be too sure.

Just waiting for someone to start advocating trendnet.  They are garbage in my experience, so stay far away.

If you want to spend a little more money Netgear is always a good value.

Good Luck,
Jesse
