Alright, simple story short, my girlfriend and I have a regular old desktop PC with Rogers Broadband (Express if that matters).
We also own a Wii, a PS3 and a couple DSs. We'll be getting a Xbox 360 today (Saturday) and a PSP in a month when the new ones come out...
And, well, we want to connect them to the Internet. We have Nintendo's USB thing for the Wii/DSs, but that's effectively useless otherwise. So we've looked into getting a router, and obviously a wireless one since the Wii/DS/PSP/PS3s all can use wireless.

I don't know anything, I don't know how they work, or what I need. Just that we need a router. I was looking at that one. I don't understand the differences in protocols and I barely understand speed...I'd like to get something cheaper, as that's a bit pricey, however everything lower available at Best Buy apparently sucks from what I gather from user reviews and stuff around the Internet.
Pretty much, I just need to know what I need for a good router that will do what I want (primarily connect our game systems to the Internet along with our desktop, with possibly a laptop in the future).
So yeah... Help?
EDIT:
So yeah looking around...

Are either of those decent routers?
Their speed is 125Mbps and up to 300Mbps respectively... I moused over my own connection icon in the system tray and it only says 100.0 Mbps... So, would they do the job I want?
