    Netgear DG834 - bloody marvellous, and cheapish too.

    See post 2, your friend needs an adsl model, eg dg834g, might be cheaper at amazon.

    be careful about buying 'used' though, they might have a custom firmware or settings that could cause grief to override.

    I would recommend the linksys range, they are very robust and high build quality, they are CISCO network hardware aimed at the general consumer, I have had mine running without reboot or error for 10 months now. Oh and they are priced fairly as well.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.
