Which router?

I think maybe we should start again with a few simple questions:

What are you going to be using it for? Sharing Internet or sharing both Internet and files between the two computers?

What features do you need?

95% of home users don't need to spend more than 30 - 40 quid on a router - and many just get a free one from their ISP.
