This is what alot of college students do.........share with all the roomies......
Get the one with the best range. I just bought one for my buddy not too long ago for about $150? Cant remember exactly but it was up there in terms of quality

If your in a house range doesnt really matter, unless you live in a mansion...I suggest you set up your router by the book since you dont know much about them.
What I mean to say is that your router simply lets anyone connect to your internet if you dont setup properly...if you follow the instructions and put a firewall/password on it you should be fine. My friend didn't bother with his and his internet got shutdown for sending a lot of v1ruses to the area...turns out someone was connecting wirelessly and using his network.
Anyway, Any router is good, linksys, d-link are the most common names that come to mind.
You will probably run into some frustration but trust me once its all done you'll be a pro at it...
Good Luck
