My router was $50 at Future Shop and came with a $20 or $30 MIR and it's given me no troubles. I have 4 or 5 things connected through it and all connect at a good speed.

I've actually had my eye on this for a while, but just when I was about to get it, Buffalo goes and gets sued. It would work really well with what I have going right now.

$10 more dollars can get you this: Newegg.com - LINKSYS WRT54G IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless-G Broadband Router - Retail

Award-winning, quality, high-rated product which can be made even better with DD-WRT firmware.

See, the thing is, I already have a wired D-Link router connecting my two PCs, which are just across the hall from each other. I'd like something that could just plug into a spare port on my wired router, so that I won't have to remove the wired network which is already set up. Could this do that?

That's why I was looking at that Buffalo product. It's designed specifically to attach onto an existing router without disrupting the network. IGN reviewed it and they said it was really easy to set up, and had great signal strength. But if I can do that with any other wireless router without screwing my existing stuff up, I may just go with that instead.

No reason why it couldn't. As long as the wired router has DHCP (it probably does), then you just set the wireless router (the WRT54G for sure can do this) to connect with DHCP (I think it's default behavior anyway, which means you don't actually have to anything), and the wireless router will connect itself automatically.
