a new router?

Decided on a new router and as always I figure its best to do some home work to save some headachs later.
I was looking at D-Link 604 or the 804 (wired, I havn't migrated to wirless yet).
There is a Dl604 for 20$(recertified-whatever that means) online, which is pretty cheap. But sense I am going to keep this for awhiule, a few more $ isn't going to kill me if its worth it, and that is why I was looking at the Dl804 which has VPN.
I am playing ghames online and am looking for good protection and ease of use for my network at home.
Any insight will be appreciated

If you can get a 604 for 20 bucks, go for it. It's a solid little router and I don't see a need for a VPN-capable router unless you are going to be using one at another location also to establish a VPN.

Recertified = used, repaired, refurbished.

just went and bought it. I figure U R correct,for 20$ how can I go wrong? I read good reviews on it.
Now I guess I need to get broadband? Joking, just joking.

Yeah, last time I looked at a D-Link router, it didn't have any place to hook up a tin can and string.
