Re: What do I buy?
One other point worth checking, LFC4LIFE, if you can: that the router you get has a 10/100 Mb WAN port. The WAN port is the one that connects to your modem, and if it's only 10Mb capable, it won't handle the full bandwidth of the 10Mb internet connection that ntl says all customers will be on by the end of this year.

Best way to check, usually, is to go the the model page for the router on the manufacturer's site and look for a link to the user manual. This will normally be a .pdf (Acrobat) file, and the information should be under 'Technical Specifications' - or just 'Specifications.'
