NetGear makes a reliable and affordable router. They also have a small router/switch combination and multiple port switches. LinkSys are also good but a bit more money. If you have DSL however, there should be no need for a router, just a switch to connect your machines together. The DSL provider should provide the router because it is necessary in most DSL applications. Hope this is of help.
