wireless routers???

What's the best "consumer grade" wireless router and where would you guys recommend buying it? Oh, this is for the US, so keep that in mind. This would be for a reasonably clueful non-tech.

...Have you checked Consumer Reports and/ or any of the popular computer magazines?

Just looked at CR. I'm more interested in the "fellow geek opinion."

Correction... looked at a site called "consumer research." Consumer Reports doesn't seem to have any ratings. I did Google and find some articles. Mostly they pushed the ultra-high-end stuff that's like $150-200+

Doesn't your broadband supplier offer a plug & play modem and router ?

In the UK PlusNet sent me a Technicolour TG582n 4 Port Wireless Router which has worked fine.

Yeah, but I'm a Paranoid A$$-wipe. I don't trust my internet provider. I don't want them to be able to log into my modem/router and change settings, etc. I prefer a separate router and modem. Remember -- just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!
