Linksys WRT54GL Wireless Router
Consumer Rating 
Price Range $50 - $80 Featured Merchants
Product Description Wireless-G is the upcoming 54Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times as fast as the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country but since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also interoperate with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B equipment.

I use it with a pair of Linksys wireless-G cards, inside a 2 bedroom apartment, and while signal strength is usually "good" or better, I am... Strength Signal strength good throughout my house, PC&Mac compatible, handles my work VPN fine Weakness Flaky! Connectivity goes up and down all the time.
