Router Question

[hansi]

I am going to buy a laptop with wireless ability and want to connect it to my PC with 1MB ntl broadban. What make router would be compatible with the ntl home 120 standalone modem please?

Anything that says it's a 'Cable Router'.

Everyone has their own preferences as far as makes go - I have a Linksys router and the current Linksys model is the WRT54G (most of the good e-tailers sell this, inc Amazon) - but you would probably do as well with Belkin or Netgear.

Any ethernet router, as it will use the ethernet connection on your CM

If you get the WRT54G as recommended, get the WRT54GS as it has the speedbooster technology in it (a bit faster) and worth it for the extra couple of £

Couldnt agree more, this router is really good. My old D-link router died last week, so I bought the fore mentioned router, installed it all today, with very little hassle. It was a bargain and havent really got any complaints (so far )

I use a D Link DI-604 Router with a Netgear Wireless Access Point plugged in to ti with my 120 SACM.

Works very well and for the price is quite well specced up.

Hope this helps...
