I am planning on purchasing a Macbook ASAP and my wireless router is dieing, so I am in the market for a new one. I'm looking for a Wireless N-Router and would like suggestions on which wireless router I should buy. I need at least 2 ports and I only want to spend at the maximum $125. Could you help?
 
The Belkin F5D8231-4 is only $80 at the moment.

This is over your budget but if you want Gigabit ethernet as well then this D-Link DGL-4500 would work well.

With any router you buy the first thing you should do is go to the manufacturers support page and download the latest firmware.
 
Airport Extreme N works great but that's slightly out of your budget.

Linksys and D-Link works pretty well overall.

Don't get Netgear.

Always read up on reviews.

My question is I found a Belkin but I hear there are a bunch of problem connecting to Mac products? Is this Belkin the same way?

Oh and isn't it kind of old? 2006?
 
My Belkin SUCKS. I had it for one year and now it won't stay powered. I've ordered Apple's wireless router...should be here today or tomorrow.

:apple:
 
I've had very good results with ZyXEL. They put out firmware updates semi-regularly, both for bug/performances fixes, as well as new features.
