hi, i will need a router in teh next few weeks for my ntl BB, will have to be wireless.
i will be using it for my PC, DS, xbox/xbox360 and maybe a psp and laptop at some point.
not got a clue about routers let alone wireless ones, so i've got around £50 to spend and would like a good router please.
could add say £10-£20 more if it's really worth it.
thanks
This is the one I use

Asus WL 500G
It connects via an ethernet cable to the STB and it has 4x 10/100 ethernet ports plus a wireless transmitter.
I can strongly recommend the Netgear DG834G - very easy to set up - took 10 minutes literally - has an superb set up wizard and the layout for chnging stuff is brilliant - even my dad could do it. Never loses connection. Amazon did have a special on where you get a free wireless usb dongle - total cost @ £58 so I'm sure others must be close.

Isn't this an ADSL type? Doesn't this person just require a wireless router that their exisiting cable modem plugs into?Originally Posted by iranu

look ok?
The one I use is the Buffalo WYR G54 (I have NTL).
Performance and signal strength has been exceptional. Am very surprised. Cheap as well.
Linksys WRT54G
Some of the available firmware 'mods' are brilliant
my bad sry

Have to agree, they are a corking router, can do alot of clever things. I find the USB handy on mine, infact im just about to upgrade to the deluxe version http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=170238

I can recommend the Linksys WRT54GC. Great little router/gateway.
I had the Asus and tbh it had a few clever bits inc a linux core but was never that great.
If you could use the USB &/or parallel port feature then maybe.
Edit: looking at it they have improved it quite a bit it seems. maybe then a viable option as its so cheap.

Netgear WGT624 - similar to the one listed above, but for cable.... Netgear stuff rocks....

I have this router. what "mods" are you talking about. Can you point me in the right direction?
I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.
