I have 20Meg Virgin cable broadband and wish to beam it out wirelessly so a laptop can hook up to the connection.

Which wireless Linksys router should I go for as there seems to be a few variations of the same thing.

I'm thinking of the WRT54GS as they have it in my local PC world, however I notice Linksys also do a WRT54GL model? Anyone know what the difference is between these two?

To add to the confusion, PC World also do a WRT54GR model which is a few pounds more expensive and yet the spec seems to be not quite a good as the two mentioned above (e.g. 100M range as opposed to the others 300m).

Any advice appreciated (perhaps a different make altogether).

PS I'm buying from PC World as I can pick it up today/tomorrow, i know i could save a few pounds by buying from somewhere like ebuyer
