I have to second the linksys suggestion.  I have the 4-port router 
and wireless access point combo(available for $149 at www.pcmall.com) 
and I am extremely satisfied.  They are really easy to set up.  I set 
up my 5 machines in less that 30 minutes.  Mine seems to be secure 
for what I need. And I frequently have LAN parties where I have 8-10 
people using the wireless and speeds are fine.
