Best Wireless Router for $50-60

[rcf-dds]

I'll be moving into a new apartment this fall - looking for a good wireless router for a about $50-60...

i don't need time machine capabilities; the apartment is small (1 BR, living room, kitchen etc) so all i need is something that will give me signal throughout one floor.

linksys?
belkin?
airport express/extreme are too expensive!

link me to some good options!

is 50-60 a good range or should i up my price range?

You're not going to find anything too great for that price.

Stretch to $120 and get this. Yes, the price is the same everywhere.

Newegg has that Router for 68.88 and comes with a PC Card.Hope this helps.

Never heard of the Linksys WRT54G? It's $60.

I have it and let me tell you, its awesome. I have a much bigger house than an apartment and I get solid signal everywhere. Try it out, or return it if you don't like it.

I have that router and I'm not a big fan. Granted it's v5 or something, but address reservation doesn't work and it bugs me. In that price range I would look for a used/refurb Airport Express, or maybe something like this Asus http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320023

A Linksys WRT54G is a reliable choice too.

Because it is 802.11g. You may as well spend the extra money and get something with 802.11n. I like the Belkin.

The AirPort Express is only $100, as well.

That's logical to me, but I didn't write the thread title.

think i'll go with the linksys wrt45g

my aptment is under 700 sq ft, only one floor and all i need is a reliable signal throughout it for my MBP so i can move from my bedroom to living room etc. throughout the aptment. $60 will do the trick, thanks.
