Easiest wireless router for NTL Broadband

[Bifta]

I need to install a wireless network on some machines that need networking together tomorrow, they use an NTL SACM and wondered what the best (i.e. easiest to set up) wireless router is, I've never set up a wireless router on anything but ADSL so any recommendations (and instructions) would be great. (they're probably buying the kit from PC World so it'll need to be something they might stock)

TIA

Wondered if this would work with the SACM ok (along with 2 Belkin 54g cards)

Firstly, I'm assuming NTL SACM has a way of connecting to a router through a RJ45 cable (network cable). If so, here are the routers Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢ve been researching recently. Itââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s best to go for the faster ones. In my preferred order:

I think we've settled on the Belkin 54g router, apparently it does work with NTL broadband and is a piece of p*ss to set up. (and I don't think PC world stock many of those one's you've listed unfortunately)

Yep, the Belkin one would work.

I use a Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G router with my NTL SACM. Very easy to set-up (even if you don't use the installation CD & its "wizard" thing), & it works great.

Amazon have it, & it's v cheap - http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...129738-1486248

I couldn't find it on a PCWorld search though.

PC World may do the Linksys one, I know wireless is a different game, but based on the reliability of my wired Linksys BEFSR41, given the choice I would go with a Linksys over a Belkin - but that is an opinion, not based on any experience either way.
