Even $25 is expensive nowadays; Belkin and Netgear routers can be  
found nearly every weekend on sale for around $10 after rebates from  
major chain stores.  I've had great luck with Belkin wireless routers  
in both the b and g varieties.  Generally, the only snag you might  
come into is if you have to forward the appropriate ports for iChat  
to work through the built-in firewall.
