with regards to wireless networking

Homeplug? wired, wireless and usb :confused:

2 desktop pc's
1 laptop wifi enabled ( just waiting on me).
wii
ps3 and xbox 360

maybe two or three things working at once

I have read that the usb would be the last option

after reading through forums about the best set up for a wireless connection
I am still at a quandry as to which modem/router to pick

I would welcome any suggestions

TIA

    Netgear wireless router (model dependant on broadband type). Any PC within a few feet of the router connected via ethernet. Everything else via wireless with WPA encryption, assuming all the devices support it.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    everything would be within 15 to 20 feet of the router I suppose, going through a ceiling and a wall here and there
