Wireless Router recommendations needed.
I need a recommendation for a wireless router to handle the following:
3 networked computers - hardwired
Nintendo Wii and DSi
2 Ipads
2 Lenovo Thinkpads
Blueray Player
I currently have no wireless system, but definitely need one. Currently have a POS netgear router. Too many conflicting reveiws and ratings for me to discerne a good choice. So what way you?
Price really isn't a problem - I just want something that will work well for several years without me having to spend a shitload of time screwing with it.

Like Civil said...go linksys or go home.
If price is no problem then Linksys E2000. Newegg.com - Linksys E2000 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4/5GHz Selectable Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router up to 300Mbps
If you want something under $100 then WRT54GL. Newegg.com - Linksys WRT54GL 802.11b/g Wireless Broadband Router up to 54Mbps/ Open Source DD-WRT
Both can be loaded with DD-WRT, which I recomend doing if you know anything about networking. www.dd-wrt.com | Unleash Your Router

Linksys has always served me well. Have had a 350N for a good 4 years with no issues.
If you are at least moderately technical I'd recommend you also look into putting DD-WRT firmware on whichever router you get (if a supported model).
Adds both performance and functionality increases by a sizable margin.

Re: Wireless Router recommendations needed.
This is the one I am thinking about getting. The dlink that war listed is probably my second choice. I have had linksys(cisco) routers for a while and had no problems. I now have a d-link at my house and it works pretty damn good, I like the setup process, seemed easier than the linksys.
The ones with the USB ports are very handy for plugging in a network storage drive or printer.
I have a coupon code for 75% off a belkin... (dont buy a belkin)
Or you could get a wireless router/modem. Like this
