to the forum Red1

I'm not really up on this wireless malarky, but this is a reasonable guide to the standards available

http://www.linksys.com/products/wirelessstandards.asp

- I've seen people say that it's a good idea to have the router & the wireless NIC's from the same manufacturer, I can't verify that, but it sounds good

The cable modem does come with an ethernet port which connects to the router using a standard cat5 cable.

As Gaz said, the NTL cable modems do have an ethernet port.


Some router suggestions...


Wired:

Linksys BEFSR41, £32.74 at Amazon.co.uk


Wireless:

Wireless "G" - Linksys WRT54G, £58.62 at Amazon.co.uk

Wireless "B" - Linksys BEFW11S4, £36.62 at Amazon.co.uk


Following on from what Gaz mentioned about people saying it's best to use wireless devices from the same manufacturer...

Have a look here: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=11809

and also this article here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/03...s_not_talking/
