Dlink DI-524. Reviews are pretty good on it. Nobody seems to have big problems with it.

Note there are a ton of other d-link networking parts on sale via this rebate that are dirt cheap. These are "last years model" being clearanced out. Nice deal if you're still using an old 802.11b router like I am.
Note also that I wouldnt count on getting this and having your wireless speed jump by 4x. At near ranges you might lock at 54Mb/s, but your throughput may be less than that. At far ranges, you'll probably still get just the 2-6Mb/s of real throughput you're getting now.
Also, if you're just pumping this through a 1-3Mb/s internet broadband connection, you wont see any difference at all. Between computers inside your house, should be better.
Note this also employs WPA encryption, which is a lot better than the easily breakable WEP found on older, slower routers.
