Best router for Surfboard 5100?
I just got a new Motorola Surfboard cable modem and now I can't use me hub to connect to my pc and xbox. So I guess I need a router. Does anyone know the best router to get for my modem?

just about any router with a built in switch will work fine,
I use the linksys brand. |

I like Linksys and Netgear myself. I have had a few problems a couple years back with SMC, I also like D-Link. Sometimes the better deals are with Wireless routers, you can get a WGR614 netgear which has a 802.11g wireless for around $30 with free shipping. Or you can get a 802.11b Wireless Netgear router for $9.99

I think I will stick to a wired connection. I am thinking of going with the D-Link 604 because of I heard really good things about it.

FWIW my SB5100 and D-Link DI-614+ work great together...

I have a Surfboard modem and a D-Link DI-604. I have never had any problems. I have two PC's and an Xbox connected. I recommend it whole heartedly. The DI-604 is only $23 after rebate at Newegg. It is THE best deal on a wired router in my opinion.
