</div>I guess it depends very much on what you want. I used to use a NetGear<br>
DG834. That was OK as a router (dispite a few peculiorities) but wasn't<br>
wireless. I have found NetGear's wireless kit to be crap.<br>
<br>
Linksys do nice stuff. They are low cost and reasonably feature rich.<br>
If it's just distributing your ADSL via wireless you can't go far wrong<br>
with one of these.<br>
<br>
I currently use a CISCO 877 (it isn't wireless but there are models in<br>
the 8xx series that do) cause I got hacked off with the DG834s inability<br>
to do SNMP and I had to hack the DG834 to get it to route the way that I<br>
wanted. They run IoS and so are a complete pain in the arse to setup<br>
and configure. They are also really expensive (around £300 for a new<br>
one). These will give you max flexability though.<br>
<br>
Somewhere in the middle (around the £100 mark) come the Zyxel routers,<br>
they tent to be quite flexable, web managed and mid priced.<br>
<br>
I'd go with a Linksys if you don't want to do anything fancy.<br>
