Thanks, i think im going to get a netgear rangemax (i think thats what its called) used on eBay.might be worth considering looking at a wireless N router as the new ipod touch is very likely to have N just like the new iphone,
as for the routers I recommend netgear and d-link routers, never had any problems with either and (the models I've had) also play nicely with a ps3, xbox or both
