Mine has just packed up, and was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for a relatively cheap model - i was using a dynamode R-ADSL-C4W-G

I only need a 801.11 b/g - nothing fancy - 11/54 mbps is fine.
ive heard 3com, belkin, lynksys and netgear are good,

links would be useful.

budgest £35-45, give or take (will pay a few more pennies if it makes a whole lot more difference.

    I use a D-link G604T wireless router called D-Link DSL-902 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Router DSL-G604T + DWLG650+ Wireless PCMCIA card... on ebuyer.com. £58.74 including p&p, though this does come with a wireless card for the laptop.

    I can recommend it, but as I do not know a lot about routers, I just know mine works and was really easy to set up!

    What I suggest is type router into the search box at the top of the page and it should bring up loads of threads, I am pretty sure I have seen quite a few in the past, discussing the merits of various routers!

    Good luck in your hunt!

    EDIT just found this thread further down the same page
