Router

My friend is thinking about getting Comcast Cable Internet, and I was just wondering what you guys like as far as 4 Port Wired Routers go, I was thinking Netgear or Linksys....any preferences?

I have the Linksys BEFSX41 and it's great. 4 port wired Router/switch with built in firewall and 2 port VPN tunnel. Picked it up at Best Buy for $59 about 4 months ago.
I've had great luck with Linksys and we've been using quite a few of their products at work for years without trouble.

Alright, I have the Linksys BEFSR41, but my friend likes netgear, so I guess I will recommend Linksys.

I've been using a Netgear RP614 router since April without a burp. However, my Netgear Cable Modem died in late June and I replaced it with a Motorola SB5100.
