Router for New Computer

I am putting together the specs for a new desktop computer that I will acquire in the near future and need a bit of advice.  One of the items I will need withe the new computer is a new Router.  My current setup has a Linksys 4-Port wired Router that is beginning to have problems, so I need to replace it with the new system.  I have a laptop that I link into my desktop system at time via the router and to the Internet also. 

What would be a good wired router (probably Linksys?) for my new system?  I would probably go with wired vs. wireless, and more like 4-port router.  Any advice/suggestions really appreciated.

Thanks

    All wireless routers have 4 wired ports. You need to get a wireless router for future compatibility. Desktops use the wired connection and laptops use the wireless since they move around. Linksys has some great wireless routers. Get one with N wireless. It will also have all the older protocols too.
