Cable Forum - View Single Post - Help needed to choose wireless router for VM DSL

Hello,

I have a VirginMedia 10MB connection. My modem is apparently an ntl:250 (sticker on the bottom). (Desktop) computer is rather old (P4, 1.7 GHz - still working fine - and WinXP SP2). I am interested in getting a wireless router to connect a laptop which comes with its own (internal) wireless adaptor - also running WinXP.

In the past, with a BT ADSL line, I had a Netgear DG834T (108Mbps) which worked fine with a Netgear WG511T cardbus (on another older laptop). I was considering getting a Netgear WGT624 for the VM cable connection but I have noticed on some online forums that there are several versions of it and many people have had great problems with it (I also found it available from an online store at a low price but I cannot be sure which version they actually sell).

Could someone recommend a decent reliable router for the desktop and laptop? (No need to be Netgear, I simply am used to them).

Many thanks.

Rof
