Which type of Wireless Router should I buy?
I'm planning on having my computer in my basement of my new house. I'm currently using a Linksys at my work place. My house is a bungalow so there is no second story. The things I plan on connecting are:
Desktop (Wired)
BlackBerry Device
Wii
Xbox
Laptop
iPod Touch
I don't intend on getting a router designed for gaming purposes. I'm a light gamer. I just need one that will suit my needs. I hope to get another Linksys with Wireless N. Need a router that is easy to setup and get going. Can you guys recommend me a specific model that would be convenient to use in my situation? I hope to not go over $150.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Please include any details about the specific router model if possible.

1. I've been using this Cisco-Linksys E4200 router for about 3 months, and it has been great. It was very easy to setup. I use it with 2 iPads, Sony Internet tv, PS3, a desktop, 2 laptops, 2 android phones, and a netbook... I think that is all. I've only reset it once, but I don't even think I needed to. The media server works pretty good. I can access a hard drive plugged into the USB port from any PC, and stream movies or music to my TV and PS3. If you want to connect to the 5 ghz you will need a wireless adaptor that supports it. I've had problems streaming from my desktop to my PS3 in the past with other routers over wifi, but with this new router connected to the 5ghz channel it has no problems at all. My desktop connects at about 300mbs.I have had multiple routers in the last 10 years, including Belkin, Netgear etc etc.
