If you still want a wireless router, the Linksys WRT54GS is definitely worth looking at. The range is good on it but if you need to increase it even more you can flash it with DD-WRT firmware. I'd recommend the DD-WRT firmware anyway...

I've flashed my Linksys WRT54G router with DD-WRT and I get signal from the end of my street!! Didn't believe it was possible by just using different firmware!!
I just use my WRT54G with the firmware it came with, and get a good signal at the neighbours and over the road. Might be interesting to see just how far I could go...

Wireless also brings up the subject of security, and I think I'm fairly secure, changing the name and using a MAC filter. How are the homeplugs for security (never having used one)? Would it be possible for example for a neighbour to use your internet connection?
