Dear Internets:  I have a dinosaur of a Dlink Wireless Router and lately it has stopped talking to my computer.  I even plugged them together and my computer kept cycling through an attempt to connect and then reporting that the network connection did not exist.
This makes me sad.  
I am paying for DSL but not using it right now since the router does not work and I'd rather not string ethernet around my office.
This also makes me sad.
I am thinking it is time for a new router.  What do I need to know in order to purchase one?  I have no idea.
Recommendations?
ETA: Andrh1a says she might have one she can send me!  *bounce*  I hope so.
