Just got this:

 

It was the best they had, as far as I  can tell.  Hope it works!  Cost $70 at Wal-Mart.  Just Googled it for the image above and saw that a lot of places are selling it for $40.  Oh well.  Fuck it.  Here goes nothin'!

Yeah, I was just thinking $70 is a bit much for a WLAN router.

Anyway, get the thing working and then let's try it out.

$70 is the default price for a "good" router, at least in America. You can go under that, but then you get into cheap-o territory. Though my $30 Belkin once provided internet for me and my five coworkers at my internship for two and a half months. Go figure...

Belkin isn't too bad.  I have one of their plug in wireless USB connectors.  I don't use it anymore but it was cheaper than the Cisco branded one and it works pretty much the same.  I even damaged it when I had it plugged in the front of a PC (I lifted the PC tilted forward forgetting that I had it on the bottom USB port).  I was able to bend it back into place.  Basically, I was at a store on the phone my friend telling him the prices.  I really wanted to go with the more expensive one thinking it would be better but he convinced me to save my money and go with the Belkin since he had one that worked good.
