Worth having a look at PC World as their website reduced prices apply when you Collect and Go.

Friend got a Buffalo wireless router the other week for £30. It so happened that the cheapest one was also suitable for cable which is what they needed.

The Netgear ones are great. DG384G or the newer model Dg384GW (I think thats what they call it) I have mine wireless on one pc. A friend has his for 3 pc's, laptop and palmtop device.

I got a refurbished D-Link wireless router, PCI and PCMCIA network cards from ebay at a reasonable price (about £60 all in as I remember.) A colleague at work pulled a face when I said who the manufacturer was, but its worked OK for me.

Just wait until you start constantly restarting the router to connect to the internet, and when you can't connect to the router directly, having to disconnect the power lead for a few minutes before it will work properly.

Linksys are budget as are Buffalo, and from my own experience they work like a 'budget' model too. I would always say Netgear are the best. They may cost a bit extra (not a lot) but I have never had a problem, and I do wireless installs on a daily basis!

What do you think to Belkin?

I bought a Netgear , it was a dud , but I was probably just unlucky.
