First I would check with the manufacturer's site for any updated firmware that might be available. That might fix it, but there's plenty of shoddy routers out there too, so it's a crapshoot. Any new router that you'd find at Best Buy or comparable store should be up to the task. A lot of people like the Linksys WRT54G and WRT54GL models (wireless can be disabled if you won't be using it), but there's plenty of good ones out there.
