I just installed DSL (*finally*). I'm about to go fetch me one o' them routers so's I can use the HP laptop across the room (not far, about 15 feet). The HP has 802.11a/b/g. I have no experience with routers. My DSL folks are covad. Suggestions?

My favorite so far is the Buffalo WHR-HP-G54.
I've tried DSL / Cable routers from SMC, NetGear, D-Link, Linksys and Belkin and for home use this Buffalo so far is the best.
If you get this one I'd recommend you replace the existing firmware with DD-WRT (see link below), it lets you add some additional functionality to the router as well as better performance and stability.
So far this is the only router I've tried out of various ones of the brands above which hasn't required me to power it off/on after a night of heavy P2P downloading (bittorrent). The others would either be completely disconnected from the net the morning after, or still be downloading torrents but not allow web browsing or other lightweight tasks (as if the on-board memory or some DNS cache were full or something).
