The issue isn’t so much what brand to buy as much as it is knowing how to set it up securely. I’d suggest Linksys since there a wealth of information on You Tube on how to setup wireless security properly. Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A88XB7_Jz7s
Again, http://www.youtube.com has many videos that will show you how to setup security on a Linksys because it is the most popular brand.
An alternative option is powerline. Powerline is much easier to setup then wireless. As long as you are living in your own house (not in an apartment, townhome, or complex), powerline does not have the security problems. Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9KWdOLgylg
Here is a good powerline product: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8913152&st=powerline&lp=8&type=product&cp=1&id=1213399954676 It’s got good reviews.
