Router

Can anyone recommend a good router which I can use to share my 150k BB connection? I'm not bothered if I get a wired router, or wireless - Infact I would prefer a wired one. Any suggestions.....

Re: Router

I was thinking of a netgear one, as I've used Netgear before with no problems. I've had a look on the netgear site, but dont know which models would be compatible.

Re: Router

I use the RP114 wired router, been solid for 18 months no probs, attached a WG602 Wireless Access Point a few months ago no probs.
I notice the RP114 is probably not available anymoe so I would go for FR114P if you want a built in print server or the RP614 for a straight 4 port ethernet router.

I think the WGR614 would give more scope for future though - wireless 'b' & 'g' plus 4 wired ports for a wired setup.

I must admit I like Netgear stuff.

Re: Router

I've got the (wireless) Netgear DG824M, & would highly recommend it.

Even if you choose the wired version, I would recommend this router.

I have the same one. I think it's quite popular. I found it easy to set up, and I've never had any problems with it.
