Which Router?

[Starz26]

What are you using for you internet connection? Many of the modems can be had with a built in router...

With that said, you can do one of several things:

buy an inexpensive 4 port ethernet hub and put it between your rounter and other devices (acts just like a USB hub and give you more ports)

get a new router - if you go this route, the big thing to make sure you get is a gigabit router 1Gb/s. While you may not use this now it will provide expandability as many newer devices are coming with 10/100/1000 ports. Balance this with the cost / need though..

If you do not need wireless do not worry about it. As for G or N, the only N device I have is my router, lol.....none of my other wireless devices support N so for me it does not matter.

My computer can go wireless or cable and my TV can go wireless (if I buy the part that plugs into the TV) or cable.

The cable route looks like it will cost less and will not be a problem for me to run to the TV, so I'm thinking it may be the best way for me to go.

Just looking for one that is inexpensive, dependable, easy to set up and fast enough for running NetFlix and the online options that my TV has.
