Router advice please

[Tbone17]

I'm in the market for a new Macbook and want to also upgrade from my old linksys 'g' router to wireless n.

So I went to bestbuy's site and checked out the routers and there's so many it's making my head spin. Everyone I talk to has a different opinion. There are routers from $40 up to over $300. Some have a usb port to hook up an external hard drive or printer and that would be handy(for the printer anyhow).

I don't want to spend $300 on a router but don't know what to look for or stay away from in the cheaper routers($40-100 range).

Some have told me the Airport is the way to go but they are pricier.

Any info would be great.

Thanks

Get the Apple Airport Extreme. Very easy to setup and fast.
