    But if it's cheap you want, it's cheap you get:

    Wireless G should be good enough for most of your needs. I don't think it is work the price difference to go to N right now.

    I am guessing this one is shitty, just because the price is so low:

    You need a super G card to get the 108 mbits out of it, which real world is like 10. Blah, I like linksys better because I'm used to the firmware, but most wifi routers/ap's suck and are no reliable, unless you go with an aironet. Then again you just want to look at porn on your psp, get it.

    Hack the AP with a computer running airsnort, or kismet, and then use the wep key on the PSP.

    Excellent router for the price if you can find them. Linksys has been pumping out the versions 5 and 6 which suck balls, but if you can find a version 1-5 you are in good shape.

    thought about that months ago, but I can't because my pc doesn't have a device to pick-up wireless signals, gotta buy one of those usb adapters.. better off just buying a router.

    If you would look closer, you'd see that it is so low, because it is "recertified".
    Which means the same thing as refurbished.

    Netgear is a good brand, I sell a lot of them at my electronics store (I am in sales). And I never hear complaints about them.

    Go with linksys if you don't mind paying extra.
    Or go with netgear for overall quality and price.


    Edit- A new version of this router is actually very nice.
    Notice that it is a SuperG, it has 108 mbps versus the standard G of 54 mbps.

    Some people will tell you that its pointless to go higher because you can only get the internet at 10mbps max.
    It's simply not true, the speeds are noticeable.
