My brother wants to get a Wireless Router but he wants to spend as little as possible. So what's the cheapest router that is not Total crap?
not really worried about security/Firewalls or anything just a Wirless router for DSL that works.
Any suggestions?
if not I will post what Router I ended up getting later.

Don't remember the code, but
It's a Linksys router and it has 2 antennas on the back. It's made for wireless but can be turned into a wired router.

you can get a linksys or a netgear router - doesn't matter which one you get they are all pretty good, i am using both linksys and netgear in my house and they work fine
Newegg.com - NETGEAR WGR614 IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless-G Router - Wireless Routers (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122016)
i have that netgear - works fine

I was just looking at that Netgear router. I think I'll go with it.
all he wants it for is his PS3 and Tversity.

if you don't need a wireless router then you can save a lot more with a wired router also known as a switch
here is a linksys:
Newegg.com - LINKSYS EZXS55W 10/100Mbps Workgroup Switch 5 x RJ45 - Switches (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124005)
you also get a mail in rebate so it'll cost you like $20 with shipping after MIR
connect up to ethernet cords into that
