recommendation for wireless broadband

anyone have any recommendations on wireless router that works well with Axim (my wife and I have 51's). We also just got a Inspiron notebook with wireless built in, but with security concerns, I haven't made the plunge into wireless networking. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

95% of all of the routers these days will support WPA-PSK. It has some significant strengths over WEP so whichever device you choose, deploy WPA-PSK.

All the vendors seem to have their unique quirks so for me price is a significant differentiator. Right now I use a DLink but I've used other brands in the past and haven't really seen a reason for brand loyalty.

I have a netgear at one location, and lynksys at another, both do fine with no problems and easy configuration. The laptop and the axim like either router.

I am using my third DLink and I never had any problems with them.

D-Link for me, had a U.S. Robotics with major problems, switched to D-Link at home and at work, now no problems at all. My laptop and other Desktop use D-Link WiFi adaptors also.

Thanks for the recommendations. If I can get my act together I'll have everything set up before my wife gets home from a long weekend away!
