    Currently, I have SBC Yahoo DSL Elite internet connectivity with up to 6.0 MBps downstream and 768 kbps upstream. My setup right now is just an ethernet cable connected directly to my pc from the Speedstream modem. I also have an Xbox 360 I would like to connect to the internet, and instead of buying the overpriced Xbox 360 adaptor, I am going to buy the Linksys WGA54G Wireless-G Gaming Adapter.

    What kind of wireless router would be best for me? Also, whats the difference between wireless b, wireless g, wireless a, and wireless a/g? Looking to spend no more than $80 if possible.

    Well, a heads up, I bought the Wireless G router with SRX, and I have done the following to try and secure it:

    Changed the SSID
    Added a pw for access to the router
    Disabled Wireless SSID Broadcast
    Used WPA-PSK security with a randomly genereated 50 digit pw with AES as the WPA algorithm
    Enabled the wireless MAC filter
    Disabled remote management
    Disabled UPnP

    Anything I might have missed? Or is my router as secure as possible?
