BEFSX41 is great for a wired broadband (non-ADSL) router.

I only complain about the Netgear's as UKonline forced me onto a DG834GT and i've never had such a flaky wireless access point. The actual WAN connection is flaky too.

I used to use a Draytek 2600G and that was pretty flawless. We're talking £150 routers now though -- I might sell the UKonline supplied Netgear and buy the new Draytek 2800 :thumbs:

Not sure I could recommend Netgear as highly, but they should be fine for a home install.

Linksys have produced some excellent equipment since being taken over by Cisco though, so I'd have to give them the thumbs up :)

Yes I have set two of these up and they are relatively easy to set up and secure. A few linksys ones I have seen are far more complicated than they need be. I have also heard that netgear ones are very simple to setup.

PC world had a good price on these the other week with a USB adapter included.

indeed. Netgear are the way to go.
There are several versions of wireless router to go for, depending on your budget, but they are all good;

Netgear DG834g (regular wireless),
Netgear DG834GT (faster wireless),

Netgear DG834PN MiMo (multi in/multi out) supposedly alot more range and also quicker.

Hope this helps slightly

Netgear/Linksys are pretty ok for a home install. If you want to splash out on something a bit more professional look at the Drayteks (but I really doubt you'll need the stablity/features of these).

No point suggesting a 108Mbps wireless connection as I doubt your laptop will support it.

Hi Guys and Girls, I’m new here at Corsa Sport


Need some help in buying a router?
I’m on telewest broadband, 2mb AND looking for a WIRELESS router
The way I plan to connect the internet in my house is

Home PC: Via LAN connection to Router
Laptop (which has wireless features): Via Wireless

I know there’s a lot of wireless routers out there. Just want suggestions on the BEST yet cheapest for Blueyonder 2MB connections

Thanks in advance
:)
