Hi I Need A Wireless Router For Broadband Any Advice Would Be Much Appreciated I Don't Know Much About Them But Getting Broadband On Thursday And Telewest Says I Need To Buy One

I bought mine on ebay for around £35 inc postage, but there's a couple on ebuyer for around £30 now. I don't know if the search will work: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=UFNQcm9kdWN0U2VhcmNoUmVzdWx0cw%3D%3D&mfr_uid=-1&cat_uid=39&keywords=router&order_col=sell_price&order=ASC&show=stock&Submit=filter

Hi carole,

You may get more replies on the techie board, so I hope that you don't mind if I move your thread over there.

Look on https://www.hotukdeals.com under Amazon.co.uk, there's a great deal there for £54 for a Netgear wireless router/modem and wireless usb dongle.

That deal includes a wireless router that has an inbuilt modem. I'm not sure of the Telewest setup, whether they give you a modem etc..., but if you just want a router (no inbuilt modem) then the KCorp KLG575 came top of the PC Pro Labs test and is on their A-List. I've had one for a few weeks now and it's been brilliant, and at £40-45 it's very well priced too.

Sory, I forgot to mention about getting a built in router. Mine from ebay is, it's a BT Voyager 2100 - very easy to set up but one of the most expensive if you buy it direct from BT.

Do you have a few devices to attach to the broadband connection??

If yes a router is preferable but if you only have 1 pc to connect no router is needed.

Telewest provide you with a cable modem that plugs into 1 machine via either USB or ethernet.

Hey, this is a great deal. Only problem is that the voucher doesn't work. Can anyone help

I don't think it's so great. On ebay a wireless router with modem should be around £35 as I said. Wireless cards will be less than £15.

Kept having this message after the promotion code is inserted:
"Important Message
We're sorry, but we didn't recognize the promotional claim code you entered. Perhaps you typed it incorrectly or you are trying to use a code that's not valid for the items in your Shopping Basket? (Some promotional claim codes can only be applied to items sold directly by Amazon.co.uk.) "
Switched to another PC to make sure if it's not cookies problem yet it still doesn't work.

The Netgear ones are great. They come with good software and instructions (not always the case with cheaper models) and they are backed by a good technical support phone line......my housemate really sang their praises while I (his more technical minded landlord) was away from home and he had broadband problems.
