If you're looking for a cheap wireless router, the first thing to note is the standards it supports. Wireless routers that support the new N standard are the fastest around, but they tend to cost more than older wireless G routers. Cheap wireless-g routers are still a good way to go, though, if you use your network for simple Web surfing and email. Make sure your cheap wireless router supports WPA2 encryption, and look for a cheap wireless router that has a built-in firewall for added security.
