According to the spec sheet: http://support.gateway.com/s/notebook/2010/gateway/nv/nv53A/NV53Asp2.shtml

802.11 b/g/n are supported. Any wireless router that supports that will work. It comes down to what brand name you trust and how much you want to pay. I prefer Linksys and Asus but that just me. The most common one is the Linksys WRT54G, it's cheap and reliable.
