Hi guys, fairly new to these forums and have a few (hopefully pretty simple) questions to ask.

Is there any particular feature or thing to look for when choosing the wireless router? Most of the ones I see seem to have ADSL modems built in to them (which I don't need). I was thinking about something like this netgear: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Is that suitable? And a decent sort?

I'm assuming that I plug the cable modem (a Motorola surfboard thingumy) into the router, set it up with a computer plugged into the router by ethernet, attach wireless dongle to laptops, install the software and then should be ready to go..... Anyone see any problems so far? I'm reasonably good with computers and am mostly after confirmation that I'm not on a hiding to nothing.

Cheers for reading.
