Hi guys, I am wanting to use my Wii online, mainly for Mario Kart at the moment, but would like the opportunity to be open to using the Wii online for any other games that may come out in the future. Is there a recommended router mainly for gaming console systems that will allow the console to share an internet connection with that of a computer? I do not wish to share the connection with any other computers. Is there a router that is geared more towards gaming consoles or could one share a recommended router in general? The Wii is about 12-15ft away from the computer which contains the Cable modem hooked up right now directly to it. There is a 360 in the same room which I may also want to use online periodically if that changes anything.

Thanks.

I'll put in a vote for the WRT54GL. Great router with a large user base. Tons of third-party firmware for it.
