    i got the
    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=170238

    was good enough for me on NTL and i use it wirelessly and wired. You can also
    tell it to give priority to certain IP addresses so that if you have one machine for
    gaming you can give it priority over other computers downloading.

    theres a dlink gamer router which does the same thing but you can also tell it
    what programs have priority. The asus one may do the same thing but i havent
    looked into it.

    Just set up a Wireless network at home with USR MaxG router and NICs. Apart from the fact that I had to hunt for XP-64 compatible drivers (ended up installing driver for the Broadcom chipset - http://www.planetamd64.com/lofiversi...hp/t14209.html) it was a piece of cake to install.

    Now that the PCI cards are installed and working with the router, I'm just waiting for the USB And PCMCIA cards to arrive :O)

    EDIT : Almost forgot... I use NTL broadband myself!
