ok so i need to get a wireless router but im not exactly a computer genius so i need some suggestions/help. I have a mac book and an Xbox 360 that will be on it (360 will be wired mac book wireless) so i need a router that will work with my mac book and be fast and easy to set up and kinda cheap. Any help +Karma if you care about that.

Thank you

uhm Im pretty sure most routers are gonna work. you're probably sweet going with a 802.11g one. belkin, dlink and linksys are all legit, belkin probably the cheapest.

you want one with a 4 port hub too since you want wired for your xbox.

they're all pretty easy to set up, just plug it into your laptop, set the wireless up, plug it into your broadband router, set the wireless network up on your laptop and you're good to go

linksys is super easy to set up, and really inexpensive.
