Few places have it. £59.06 inc. VAT.

Its seems to do both DSL and cable. Is that right? I thought one or the other. Been years since I bought a router.

No no, it does Cable/DSL, not ADSL, which is "phoneline" broadband. DSL simply stands for "Digital Subscriber Line".

Really just means you need a second box (modem) to do the actual connection to provider where it be (A|S)DSL or cable. It doesn't have the modem bit built in.

It will work fine with ADSL but you will have to use a separate modem.

I have a linksys cable/dsl router (Wrt54GL) connected to an ADSL2+ line via a speedtouch 585v6 (which is in bridge mode)

The speedtouch is fine as a modem but as a router it's somewhat lacking hence why i have the linksys hanging off the back of it... ;)

In which case every router will deal with ADSL/Cable, as long as you have an Ethernet out modem. I'm very aware of this already, the poster seemed to be treating them differently.

Well i bought one for under retail price. i think about £54.

So far so good. Setup was automatic.

Not sure about performance so far. Not upgraded to 10mb as in winnersh. Plus I just got a Samsung 245b 1920x1600 at same time which could be affecting COD4. Pings seem a little higher than direct to ntl 120 modem 30ms to 40ms.

Wireless signal is impressive. 3 x laptops Dell 530, Equium A200-1V0, Sony VAIO T2XP with G rating all got max signal 54mb around three level terrace house.
