Recommend me a router and gigabit switch?

[MJO]

Hi

Since the arrival of a new "family" member (the new rig) I need to get a LAN up and running.

I have the following in mind.
A router that will connect to the WAN (internet) and a gigabit switch to handle the LAN.

I am looking at these products, please give me some comments.
Is it a good router or does it suck?
It seems that wired routers stopped evolving in 2002 or 2004, correct me if I am wrong? :-/

Router Linksys BEFSX41

Switch Netgear GS105

My internet connection is a 4 Mbit ADSL solution using DHCP (not PPPoE) ;)

For $140 US at Newegg, this Netgear WNR854T (http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/RangeMaxNEXTWirelessRoutersandGateways/WNR854T.aspx) would get you:


4 port Giga switch
Router
wireless...because some day you'll want to get the 'net over to a laptop

PC Authority in Australia did a lab test on Wireless Routers and the first place was a Belkin N1 Wireless Router (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=273526) it seems to do everything, quicker, easier and cheaper than the competition, review will be available on the website next month!

A review (http://www.laptopmag.com/Review/Belkin-N1-Wireless-Router.htm)

hope this helps
