netgear are popular i have the rangemax adsl router hub which is pretty good - but unlikely you will get a free pci / usb wireless card

Look through OCUK's networking wireless packages

Belkin seemed naff from my experience, never had a problem with linksys really, and get a pcmcia card if its a laptop, or an internal wireless card if its desktop, my preferance over USB dongles, USB never seemed to work aswell for me !
