If you want a secure Wireless router, avoid the ntl one. It does not have the security features that the latest linksys, D-Link and Netgear routers has.

As an example, you can't turn off SSID (This broadcasts the network name, something you want to avoid as anybody within your wireless range with the appropriate wireless network card can try and hack) on the ntl router, and finding and enabling the security measures it has got is not that easy either. As Paulyoung666 has said, look around there are some bargains to be had in better and more secure equipment.
