Hi, and thank you for choosing IMShopping!

I know that Linksys, Netgear, Engenius, and Belkin are good brands of routers.  In fact, I found a Netgear DGN2000 Wireless-N 300 Router with Built -in DSL Modem.  It caught my eye not only because you can use it with an iPod Touch, but it has a built in DSL modem.  Talk about multitasking and saving money!  Here is a little more about it:


Surf, make Internet phone calls, play online games and Stream  HD Video simultaneously. Replace your old DSL equipment with new Netgear Wireless-N DGN2000 router. Push 'N' Connect securely connects at the touch of a button. It is compatible with NETGEAR and other Wireless-G and Wireless-N adapters.
  • Live Parental Controls, powered by OpenDNS
  • Blocks unsafe Internet content and applications
  • Flexible and customizable settings through Web interface
  • Protects connected devices through the router such as PCs, gaming consoles, and iPod touch
  • Easy setup with Smart Wizard Installation CD
  • Push 'N' Connect using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) - A secured connection at the push of a button
  • Convenient power and Wi-Fi on/off Switch to conserve energy
  • Double firewall protection
  • Denial-of-service (DoS) attack prevention
  • Intrusion detection and prevention (IDS)
  • Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK) and WEP
As you can see, it has a lot of features.  If you do some of everything on the internet or your iPod, I'd choose this router.

Please check out my other recommendations.  I hope you like them.  If you have more questions, ask IMShopping!

The genius thing about the Ipod touch is that you do not need a wireless router when you are out and about.  If you are looking for a wireless router for your home when you are using the Itouch then I would suggest a Linksys.

The Linksys Wireless-G broadband router is really three devices in one box. First, it's a wireless access point, which lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. There's also a built-in four-port full-duplex 10/100 switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices. Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G broadband router can encrypt all wireless transmissions, and it supports the industrial-strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization. The router can serve as a DHCP server, has NAT technology to protect against Internet intruders, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet. Configuration is a snap with the Web browser-based configuration utility. With the Linksys Wireless-G broadband router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multiplayer games with the flexibility, speed, and security you need! Wireless-G is the 54 Mbps wireless networking standard that's more than four times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country. But since they share the same 2.4 GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also interoperate with existing 11 Mbps Wireless-B equipment. Because both standards are built-in, you can protect your investment in existing 802.11b infrastructure, and migrate to the new screaming-fast Wireless-G standard as your needs grow.

The iPod touch has always been an amazing iPod. And with its groundbreaking technologies--including a Multi-Touch screen, the accelerometer, and 3D graphics--and access to hundreds of games, iPod touch puts an amazing gaming experience in the palm of your hand. It comes in 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB models with new volume controls and a built-in speaker. Play hours of music. Create a Genius Playlist of songs that go great together. Watch a movie. Surf the web. View rich HTML email. Find your location and get directions with Google Maps. Browse YouTube videos. And shop the App Store for games and applications.
