Hi, just bought and awaiting delivery of my first laptop. My mate has offered me a router which he says is the right one for my cable broadband. Its a Buffalo WBR-G54. My knowledge in this area is sparse. I did a search and it appears to date from about 2003 when the 'G' standard for Wi Fi was in its infancy. My question is this. Will it need new drivers or firmware etc and will it give me similar performance as say a Belkin or Netgear router that I can buy for under £30 on Amazon? Some of the forums and reviews from 2003 are contradictory but several suggest it is not easy to set up and configure. (it will be a first for me but I can read a manual and fingers crossed understand most of the jargon)
Thanks for any input and opinion.
