Another option if you're willing to spend the money is to get a wireless internet card from Sprint or Verizon. If AT&T is in your area and has their newest networks up they maybe the fastest. But Sprint and Verizon have their EvDo networks pretty much everywhere and it's pretty fast. I used to sell them back in the day when I worked at Best Buy and they were a life saver for a lot of customers. Would I use one for my primary trading? No, but I would for a backup if I didn't have any other options.

One more issue though is I'm not sure if those cards would work with a desktop. There is probably some hardware out there where you could use the card externally and plug it in but I'm not sure. Something to think about though.

As far as routers go, you could try some of the new "N" ones. I remember they were just coming out as I left a little less than a year ago. I heard good things about them but I remember they were really expensive. But I think they were more for wireless as they had a longer more powerful range.
