Can you recommend a router for use with NTL?

Get what you pay for. If it works and does what most routers do then I still think this is a bargain.

Like another user said, its only 11mb/s across the LAN so if your planning on transfering lots of data within your LAN then its gona be major slow compaired with a newer model that can handle 54mb/s.

But if the router is for WAN access only then unless your on a service thats faster than 11mb/s your not gonna see any lack of performance.

That router offers 128bit WEP security which isnt as good as newer models again but with a good key it will make your network secure.

I've got the d-link DI-604 for my blueyonder service, its tiny, it was major cheap and I've not had a problem with it. The netgears do look much better and the http GUI are better/easier to use.

Get a linksys, deffo!!

They are the consumer arm of Cisco and definetely make great products.

For what it's worth, I bought a new Netgear wireless router/ access point recently and sent it back after a coule of days as the coverage in my castle was appaling. Put in my old (slower, yes) Linksys and it works.

it's an old slow model, and the other one you are looking at is a refurb, and not much cheaper than a new one..
