router recommendations

[Jared Michaels]

Thanks everyone for your comments. I'm going with the Linksys because that's the consensus of the majority (actually only maybe 2 of you). Anyway, I'm really a beginner with this so I'm hoping it will be easy.
 
I installed DSL tonight and it works great! Anyone know how I can see how fast I'm going in Win2k? Clicking on the connection icon only shows 100Mbps for the Lan. How would I do it in Linux (trying to keep on-topic here)?
 
Thanks.
Jared

My question is not directly related to Linux, although I will be using this product with Linux eventually. I'm finally getting DSL and have spent the day searching for a good router. I'm split between the Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G and the Netgear WGT624 Wireless 802.11G Firewall 4-Port Router. I've read mixed reviews for both -- some cite intermittent wireless connectivity, poor firewall features and terrible tech support, while others say they're dreamy. Does anyone have any recommendations for a wireless "g" router with a good firewall (that's fairly easy to set up), WPA, pretty good connectivity, compatible with Suse linux, and around $150 or less? (Actually, I guess it doesn't have to be compatible with linux since I will be setting up the router in Windows -- right?).
 
Thanks, Jared
