I have been in the market for a router. I only use it for my laptop and a PSP. I live in an apartment so probably range shouldn't be a factor for me. I am looking for one around 40-50 dollars. Please suggest me some routers. thanks.

If I were purchasing a router soon, it would be a: Linksys WRT54G series router.
and then I would:

I just put this one in for my in-laws:
http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WRT54G2-Wireless-G-Broadband-Router/dp/B0014J07R2
It's $45-ish. Don't use the install script, though, unless you want to be frustrated.

I'd do some research online about finding what routers fit what you want. However, once you decide what you want, my advice is buy off ebay. Its always a lot cheaper:

I will highly recommend the newest Linksys G Router, not N.
WRT54G is also good although it's an older model.
