I really liked D-link's older networking equipment, but anymore their routers/switches have gone the way of the cheap materials, in my opinion.
im not trying to bash d-link. They seem pretty decent. I just own a switch back from when they actually used metal, and I wish they continued that trend. They just seem sturdier.
i have to second the netgear and linksys. They are both a good medium between price and quality..
another thing you might think about if you are running WindowsXP (or linux), would be to look into Net Sharing. A feature where windowsXP can be the router for the cost of an extra network card. it won't be as expandable as a router, and probably no where near as elegant solution, but it is another possibility.
