What network hardware should i get?
I have no idea what (router, switch, etc) and (wired or wireless) I'm looking for something under 40$ from amazon.ca because i have a gift card and if you have a better idea on what to get that's welcome to.
-Thanks.

I'm not sure if there's much under $40, but this is a good router if you're willing to spend a little more. You can load it with DD-WRT (or tomato/openwrt/etc) with gives you tons of new features.

Can't go wrong with that series of Linksys router. I'm running off of a WRT54G version 6.

I wouldn't recomend the later WRT54G due to the change of firmware and lack of RAM. Older versions (I think 4.0 or lower) or the WRT54GL have 4MB flash and 16MB RAM. The later WRT54G tend to be quirky from what I've heard, and are very limited if you wish to upgrade to something like DDWRT (which I HIGHLY recommend!)
