Router Recommendations

[Guest]

Hello!
I just recently signed up for DSL, with a static IP, and am now on the market for a router with NAT so I can set up an internal network at home.
As this is not 'prime-time' material, I don't want to spend a bunch.
Anyone have any advice/recommendations on a reasonably priced home router with NAT? I'm interested in thoughts about where to find one (online vs. store), ease of use, etc.

Any feedback appreciated. Thanks!

NetGear make the RT338, which looks like what you are looking for.

See a review :

Out of curiousity, do you need NAT because of the static IP?
I do not have a static IP, and use a NetGear hub (2 yrs. no problens! Go 3Com & NetGear!) to allow multiple computers to access my DSL connection. I used to use a Cisco 675 that could do NAT for my setup, but my new service uses some plastic crap modem barely able to pass IP packets instead. The Cisco was a Mack Truck for internet access, as far as I am concerned.

Yes, I need NAT becuase I have only one IP to use...
I want to have the router be the only "outward-facing" connection, then I can set up a 127.0.0.x network internally...

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll look into the RT338.
Someone else suggested the Linksys 1-port, which looks pretty good, and is closer to $100 in price... we shall see!

The Linksys router looks nice for NAT. My ADSL provider uses DHCP to send out IP addresses, so I can share my LAN just by connecting the DSL modem in my hub, so I don't need to worry about NAT fortunately.
