Set Top Box - What Router?

Hi first post so go easy

I have the silver set top box (Samsung),
and i'm thinking or needing to make my set up Wireless.
Partly because of MS rebooting my machine in the night and then the network dropping due to this.
And peace of mind that i don't have to have my machine running all the time.

Ive rang virgin about this and i'm sorry i cant understand the person at the other end at 25p per min.

Ive searched various threads and most seem to mention the modem? But my Internet connection comes out the back of my set top box, then to my PC, So what Router do i need?

Questions :
1. Netgear or linksys seem okay.
I have x2 linksys access point to act as repeaters for a better reception around the home (WAP546 v2)802.g
Any pre fences or recommendation for signal strength and reliability ?

2: What type of Router?
As mentioned above im hooked up via my set top box then Ethernet to my PC.

3. What they like to configure?
4. Where can i get the settings?


Thanks in advance for any help
