An easy basic WIRED router?

[PhelpsiPhan]

Hey guys, i am after a simple and basic WIRED router. Not wireless.

Heres the Situation.

I have a MBP in a hengedock, works great, the wireless signal isnt always great though. I have an Airport express for my wireless needs (iphones, iPad etc) now i want to put a cheap wired router, then connect that through ethernet to my Hengedock and then another out to my Airport Express. So the MBP has a wired consistent connection but i can still use the wireless for the iPad.

So if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know (and dont bother saying Airport extreme.... i dont want to spend that much, plus the mrs wouldnt like it )

Thanks

Do you even need a router? Wouldn't a gigabit switch suffice?

Thanks

It's pretty hard to find a wired only router. Luckily all the wireless ones also have ethernet ports. I recommend a Linksys WRT54G2.
