I need to buy a router and I know nothing about them

16 years ago

I have a netbook on the way and need to buy a router. The netbook supports B,G and N and I understand I should buy a N router because N is the newest and fastest of the three. (I'm not exactly sure what the B, G and N are really called)

Comcast cable is my ISP for my desktop and I own my cable modem. I called Comcast and they were not helpful. All they said was you need to buy a router. duh.

There are so many routers and their terms are confusing. The prices are all over the place too.

We live in a small house, two bedrooms, one story. Gardening is my hobby and I do have multiple water features so I might want to use the netbook by the pond in nice weather but the yard is small and I don't want to be blasting my wireless across the neighborhood.

I do want to buy one asap so I'm ready when the netbook gets here.

I've tried to do research on routers but keep running into specs that are confusing and routers that are really expensive. Not going to network my entire house here. Just one netbook. :)

Thanks
