Hey Matty, I suggest a Linksys router (
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satel...VisitorWrapper ) I have two of them, pretty easy to setup, good quality, and not too expensive.
Linksys seems to make some really good stuff, it's all I use for my networking right now and really holds up great. At my apartment semester before last I had a Belkin router that was awful, maybe it was the router, maybe it's Belkin, I don't know. However, I'd stay away from those.
Edit: Also consider browsing around techbargains.com and cheap.typepad.com/ if you plan on buying online. They list lots of deals, and you can probable get SOMETHING if you find something for a place that sells em!
