However all are based on the "g" standard, plenty fast enough for 20meg speeds but if you are futureproofing for Virgin Media's 50meg you should be looking at the "n" standards (not that any current wireless cards inbuilt to laptops support "n").

The Netgear WGR614 is also a "g" speed router.

Actually in areas of heavy interference or if theres a lot of other lans around 54G is not suitable for 20Mbit broadband.

54G will only shift 22-28 Mbit/s in almost ideal condiitions... for instance theres several wlans around here and i'm lucky to shift more than 10Mbit/s though my wireless
