Help with buying a wireless router?

I havnt ever bought a wireless router before. I am using a router/modem my iternet service provider connected for me, but i want a wireless one to connect a xbox 360 too and othe laptops. I am looking at getting a Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless N Router - Recertified, 300Mbps, 802.11n, 4-Port. Can a router expert tell me if this is a good choice? here is the specifications-Specifications

Let me know if this would be a good buy?|||well i have belkin 54g router it works fine however, i heard that if you go to pc world then probably with your features a linksy router or a netgear router would work perfectly|||It sort of depends on you. If you have a lot of laptops that are going to connect to this router, then this router is a good choice. Also, if you have a big house, this will be perfect. If you have an average sized house, you would have more than enough range on it. So yes, this router sounds like it would be good for you.
