    It looks ok, for £6.01, never used one myself, depends what price it goes up to

    The problem with the cheaper obscure makes is, that few people (including me) will have experience of them

    Most of those aren't wireless, if you think you may need wireless now or in the future (for laptops etc), then you may as well get a wireless one now.

    The BT ones, sometimes these may be locked to BT, so you have to be careful.

    The wireless one you posted is 802.1b not G, best avoided, because it will be slower 11meg instead of 54, even though your BB is probably less than 11meg, an 11meg router can have an impact on the speed.

    Providing this one doersn't go to high, I assume this would be a good purchase.

    Sorry to be a bore on the subject, but I know nothing about routers.

    Yes, you'll be lucky to get it for less than £20 though. Sky give them away for free

    You don't need a 108 one, a 54 will do the job, if any come along

    Put something into the basket, go to the checkout and it tells you what methods of payment are accepted.

    Hi again

    This one's ending soon and appears to be a bargain as it includes a card for a laptop.

    Anyone offer any comments?
