Is this router OK to buy?

I had a look on the VM Accessories shop for a wireless router, and I found this:

http://accessories.virginmedia.com/w...ode=SELF520302

Is this an okay router for a cable customer? If not, can suggest any good routers that are under £35/£40?

P.S It's CABLE I'm after, not ADSL :P

crazy, with any router you would probably have to fiddle a bit with ports there is no way around that.

which games you play?

PC and Xbox 360 really. I think I might get the Linksys one as I don't really need the adapter
