I'm looking to get router but I don't alot about the terms they use in the specs like DMZ etc so I wanted a bit of advice. After reading a similar thread on here I'm looking at the following models:

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=44088

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...282138-5719610

The spec for the Linksys router says it gives 100Mbit transfer to each of the four ports but the others don't say if they do this; or is this a standard feature of all routers? Also the Ebuyer and USR routers both have a 'Print server' feature but the Linksys doesn't but I'm wondering is it better to stick with a well known networking make like Linksys instead of having this extra function.
