Which router would you get?

[GLF]

I am looking for a router to bring to school and to use at home so I can share one IP. I am looking at netgear products because they seem to have the least problems with them. I am looking at these 3 models:
RO318 DSL/CABLE SECURITY ROUTER W/8-PORT SWITCH
RP114 DSL/CABLE WEB SAFE ROUTER W/4-PORT SWITCH
RT314 DSL/CABLE INTERNET GATEWAY ROUTER W/4-PORT SWITCH
Can anyone recommend one of these models over the others? Are there any other models I should look at that are a different brand? Thanks for the help.

GLF, I just got cable modem access last Thursday and I set up this Linksys router - BEFSR41 - EtherFast 4-Port Cable/DSL Router. It set up painlessly. I'm on Time-Warner RoadRunner, and there literally was no setup other than plug it in and let it run.

I'd go with the RT314. I just got this about 3 months ago. Very easy to setup and has lots of features.

rt314 hands down

I have the BEFSR11 1 port router from linksys, and love it. After I got the firmware upgrade for it, it works even better!

But I have heard great things about the NetGear RT314, so if you are going with a router, I suggest that one

What is the difference between the FR314 and RT314 from Netgear. I read the sheets and did not understand.
