The ntl 200 modem isnt that old and should be adequate.

Using internet connection sharing with one main and one slave PC is unlikely to be slowing your overall speed too greatly, unless the connection sharing PC is very limited in capacity. However it may not be that economic to have to run your ICS PC just to let your slave PC work online. That's where the router comes in.

If buying a router today, the difference in cost is such that wireless can make sense for future proofing. However if wired is all you want then the Linksys BEFSR41 will do for most general purposes. If you want a firewall included in the router (can be a good idea) then choose the Linksys BEFSX41.
