Which Router?

I'm going to be getting SBC DSL in the next week or so . And I'm going to need a router so that both of the computers in the house can be hooked up to the DSL. I'm going to be using a wired router, and wanted some input from you guys.

Here is the Linksys I'm looking at. I'm also thinking about this DLink one.

If you guys have any suggestions for other routers, I would appreciate those. The reason that I picked these out is because I know that Linksys and DLink put out some of the better products in this field.

TIA.

Either one would do the job, but I like the Linksys BEFSR41 for wired connections.

I bought the D-Link DI-614+ on a rebate deal for $15, and it's been a very nice router. I did have to send back the first one because it was defective, but that happens with any brand at times, and it's been excellent since then.

Yeah I have that same router, (the Linksys) and it is pretty good. It rarely stops working. It's pretty good.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I really appreciate it. Especially since I haven't got a clue on what the good routers are .

Nothing at all wrong with either one. The D-Link is a little less expensive and an absolute breeze to set up.
