Which Wireless Router is best

I'm getting dsl soon and I'm wondering which wireless router is best. I have a Inspiron 600m with a Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3A Mini PCI Adapter.

It all depends on who you ask.  It seems that Dell prefers D-Link.  My personal preference is to use Netgear. People in the store make extra money if they sell you Linksys.  They all tend to work it is features that you are looking for.  Make sure whatever router you have lists SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) and protection from DoS (Denial of Service) attacks.  Beyond that the other things to consider are whether you are going to have any wired computers also.  If you do, buy a router with Ethernet ports also.  You always have the option of installing a USB wireless card, or a internal (PCI) wireless card if you have a desktop computer you would like to share the internet with, but don't want to run the wires.

all i need the router for is to get the internet on my laptop w/o wires .. it has a Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3A Mini PCI Adapter.  Would any router work w/ that card? thanks for the advice on SPI and DoS
