Router recommendation

[[AK]Nuts]

I'm a cheap bastard. So when it came time to hook the wife's PC to the internet, I just stole an old NIC from work, put it into my PC and then shared my internet connection. Well, now she'll have a laptop from work as well as her personal PC so that means I've finally got to spend some money to buy a router (I've got 20 hubs but no routers at work). We don't need wireless as she'll use a docking station and isn't interested in going wireless.

So, I've found a linksys routerer with firewall I'm curious if any of you folks have any experience with this one or have a recommendation for a very basic, 4-port router with firewall.

I've heard talk that some routers don't allow you to save configuration settings... definetly want to stay clear of that.

Thanks

Ive heard the Linksys are ok. I use a Netgear RP614 and it works great! It is also very configurable with some very nice built in features.

They used to run $80+ now can be had after 10 mail in rebate for 29.99 here:

The netgear is much better than the Linksys FYI.
