Can any of you recommend a (cheap) ADSL router thats compatible with my two D-link DWL-510 cards? They are 802.11b

The linksys ADSL router (WRT54G) is the one I use, it is compatable with 802.11b and 802.11g, has 4 100Mb rj45 ports, and is about 60 quid.

Netgear make one at a similar price and spec, belkin make a really cheap one, but personally I wouldn't use belkin kit...

HTH

(oh and they are all available at: dabs, overclockers, etc,etc

Is that just a router, I'm going to need one that'll act as an ADSL modem too as mines currently an internal one

No its wireless if its 802.11b and g compatible.

EDIT : Sorry Dellwear didn't read it properly. I don't think it is an ADSL modem.

Sorry I wasn't very clear (After reading back my comment) I'm looking for a combined wireless router and Adsl modem, as my modem's internal and I guess I won't be able to use it with a wireless router. Or have I got it completely messed up?

I know that one Zovat recomended is a wireless router, but does it have an internal ADSL modem?

D-Link DSL-604+
That's what I use with ADSL

This will do it. I can't recommend it I just looked for a wireless router ADSL modem.

I actually have the Green Frog ADSL Modem, a four port Router, and a Wireless AP, all seperate.

and also the ones I mentioned have ADSL modem versions - but they are about £20-30 more expensive than the ones without...

I've had a look around and I cant seem to find the d-link one that Xac recommended. Although I'd rather have a d-link one I've come across this one :

What do you all think?

That doesn't have an ADSL modem built in. Its for use with an ADSL or cable modem.

Bugger, they don't make it easy for you to see which ones are which do they?


I've found the one Xac was on about, I'll probably order it tomorrow, I just hope its o.k. with my cards.

Thanks for all the help guys

I've got a Belkin 11g access point, two centrino laptops, one Netgear USB card, a belkin 54G PCMCIA card, an IPAQ (5550), and a D link Compact Flash card for use with an IPAQ 3850.
They all work fine. The 11b and 11g are standards which means good compatibility.


EDIT : I forgot the two Netgear MP101 wireless MP3 devices!!!

Nope, sorry. The WRT54G is just a normal wireless router - no inbuilt ADSL modem. It's more suited for a cable connection, unless you get a seperate ADSL modem with an ethernet port.

Well I took the plunge and bought the D-Link DSL-604+ that Xac recommended, it'll arrive on Monday. Wonder if it'll include any cat 5 cables?

So looks like I'll not be spending much time with my new PDA until then
