Most ISP modems these days come with wireless built into them so you can do home networking through the modem/router combo. I prefer a seperate router though as the newer ones have better speed and range.
If you are looking for video game/netflix streaming etc, I would get a dual band N, price range $150-300 based on brand etc.
For my house I have the latest Linksys router, about $300, but I never have issues with over 5 computers, 2 phones, 2 ipods, 2 ipads, PS3, Wii and 3 wifi blu ray players all connected and most of the time at least 6-10 devices using bandwith at a time.
Brand names: Cisco Linksys, Netgear I would recommend. If you are using apple computers/products the Airport is also good.
