    i had a netgear dg834g (before it got taken out by a thunderstorm) and it was a brilliant router. there are various revisions of this router (v1,v2,v3 etc) as well as slightly newer versions (dg834gt etc)

    however, i'd always run a console via an Ethernet cable to reduce lag during online gameplay.

    yup agree with G-G above - if you get a decent wireless router then it should have extra ethernet ports so you can plug a cable into the back - always more reliable for gaming than wireless. you will need to make sure you get the correct router for your connection whether its cable (like virgin) or phone line (BT/Sky etc)
