Are you on cable or ADSL (telephone line) broadband?
Linksys and Netgear are the 2 main brands to look for when you buy in my opinion. Then it's down to do you need wireless or not?
Thanks for reply, on cable need wireless router.
These two seem ok, is the speedbooster model worth the extra price?

Speedbooster will tend to only give good results if you have a Linksys Speedbooster enabled wirleess adaptor in the PC / laptop. The standard Dell won't have that. Thus the WRT54G should do you fine.
However do look at your house before committing. How far is the router site from the laptop. Are there lots of walls / floors in the way? Wireless can degrade with obstructions and distance. You need to understand if you can get good reception.
