I have only one PC and one Wii that I want to hook up to the internet. They are no less than 10 feet from each other, so I don't want to go wireless. Where can I get a reliable cheap Ethernet router to hook up the PC and Wii (assuming I buy a Ethernet adapter for the Wii) with my DSL connection? Links would be great

Try netgear. I used one and loved it until I went wireless. Now I can't give it away because everyone I know who is going broadband is going wireless.
They had good price and good performance

Check out this NetGear switch at WalMart. ( http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=2304398 ) Before I went wireless, I had a NetGear similar to that one and it worked great. Had it for close to 3 years w/ no problems. Stay away from D-Link products too. The price may lure you in, but the quality is very poor at best. I've used both a wired and wireless D-Link router and they just aren't reliable.

Speedtouch 510 is pretty good and cheap, 4 ethernet ports on the back of it aswell.

Almost any ADSL modem router with 4 ports will work for you. ie, Netgear DG834
