Which wireless router?

    Hopefully someone can advise me, on which wireless router would be a good one to buy. At the moment i have wireless broadband from permanet.ie. It is received from an antenna on the roof, and is plugged into a ARRIS modem. From there i can connect it to my computer either by usb or ethernet cable.

    I also have a another computer in sitting room which i would like to set up on a wireless network, along with the Wii. From what i understand, all i need is a router, and not one with a modem built in (already have the modem)

    I know this question should be more suited to the broadband forum, but i would just like to get a wireless router which actually works with the Wii. Also i am not sure which speed to get, i think there is 54 mbps and 108 mbps. I assume you would need the faster version, if there is a good few computers on the network, in order to avoid bottlenecks (am i right or wrong).
    As i'll only have 3 computers and the Wii on, surely the 54 mbps should do the trick?

    Thanks for any info..

    I got a belkin F5D7230-4uk version 6000 router in argos for seventy euro and its working fine now with the wii but took a couple fo hours to get the settings right (basically had to turn some MTU value from 0 to 1500 on the wii and changing the routers setting to channel 1 and changing 802.11 b and g to g only). There is a cheap eircom router -netopia (25 euro) that is meant to work fine with the wii, check out a few treads a couple of weeks back as there is alot of stuff on routers.
