which router for ease
 
:confused: I am looking for a 108mbs broadband router for use with the cable modem.
I know the technology has moved on from the previous 54mbs routers and will soon advance again to moip technology but for the moment can anyone advise on a good easy to set up plug in and go router?

Why? What do you do that needs that kinda speed, most wireless approaches are for convinence, not speed and all sorts of things can soon get that 108 down to 1mb. If you need 100Mb you are best to think of a wired solution.

May be a good recommendation if the WRT54G that many here have is anything to go by.

Netgear seem to be the 108 Mb people, this is done with two separate 54 streams. Both require the correct (proprietary) hardware at both ends, and connecting non speedboosted hardware is likely to cause a speed drop anyway (like connecting a b device to a g network).

I agree with SMHarman, it's rare (and hard) to get those speeds, the only thing I know that comes close is the Belkin Pre-N with MIMO, link here:
