[lug] Wireless router shopping

I just got a new LinuxCertified LC2210 notebook with built-in 802.11g
wireless.  I couldn't get the wireless to work at first, but they
worked with me by e-mail and phone until it did.
(It came with Fedora Core 1, and I'm quite pleased with it overall.)

Now I'm shopping for a wireless router for my house.  My house is
a "Microsoft free" zone; well except for an old dual boot pentium 3
that is rarely turned on.  It's not currently connected to anything.
We also have an iBook (the old clam shell type) and an inkjet printer.

I'm looking for advice and options to network most or all of these
things together.  Also what pitfalls to watch out for.

Tom
