EDIT: Just too good to be true, its an ADSL router
you obviously didnt take the advice and look at that thread and url link i placed there.

if you look,you can find 11N routers today from around £60 for the 10/100 WAN/LAN to around £110 for the bells and wistles 1gigabit wired/300Mbit wireless gaming kit.

the average 10/100/1000 WAN/LAN 11N routers are around that £70/£85 mark.

personally the D-Link DIR-655 unit looks like a good investment but a little high in price just now, but thats the choice, go cheap and pay later in slow throughput and lacking in full function, or pay slightly more and now and get better long term useage.

just read the link, work out what unit suits you best for the long term (learn the reasons behind the speed/range etc for a unit), and go look for a good price based on that unit.

also dont be fooled into the usual if its a higher price its better, you need to understand at least the basics of why a wireless unit might be better even if its cheaper.

if you understand the limitations and then go for the slower unit thats your choice OC, as is realising one version of a unit might not be the same as another version even if its got the same name.

if you get a new 11n it might be a good thing if you gave the full version and spec in the url below to help expand the thread for future use.

PS it seems theres far to many people not searching for or reading/replying to the existing Can anyone recommend a router type threads, perhaps a merge of threads might make it clearer to these wanting info and advice rather than have to keep repeating ones self over and over here...
