The line for the interweb is in my dad's office a room away. We are going to connect a router there, then have it share the interweb to me via a wireless card.
I want to be able to use DS and wii with it, for maximum l33t.

I'm looking for the cheapest one that is 5 stars. It only needs to spread 256k, cuase that's all my connection is.
Also, I don't know anything about wireless lan cards. It has to be PCI. (replace my gay 56k modem card!)

I have that router, and it works great. I can go outside my house and sit in my front yard where we sometimes put a picnic table and I still have good reception. The earlier models weren't compatible with the DS, so I returned it. Later on I bought a laptop and rebought it because I needed a cheap router and didn't care if it worked with my DS. I had trouble with outher routers because of the westell modem I have. Anyways, the newer one that I bought works with the DS.

I have a D-Link DGL4300. Very good router. Though it will cost you over 100$.
