Recommend me a 4 port hub that is also an ADSL modem?
#1
Looking for a way to network 2 or 4 machines together that also allows the hub to be the ADSL modem. Since i am FINALLY about to go ADSL and need to get the modem together i though i could kill several birds with one stone and buy some sort of box that would allow me to connect friends computers and extra computers in my house to the same ADSL line at same time
Any recommends? reviews? prices?
Also i am complete network n00b so the easier to set up the better!

I use a Zyxel Prestige 643 - it's not a new design, nor is it especially cheap, but it does 'just work'. No crashes, no reboots, just plug in, configure and forget.

I have a DSL-504 that needs to be sold tp a good home if you are interested ? I moved to NTL so no need for it anymore. I second the fact that they are excellent (even when i bough mine when it was tripple figures ! )

I use a D-link DSL-604+ which is an integrated ADSL modem, 4-port 10/100 hub and wireless access point. Cost about 200 quid, but it does everything and is extremely easy to configure. And it's really nice to just get home, fire up the laptop and read my email / surf scoobynet from the lounge without any trailing wires.
The 604 is a 802.11b+ wireless system (11/22Mbps) but I understand there's a new model coming out which will be compatible with the faster 802.11g/a versions.

Speed thing refers to 10 or 100 Mbps (megabits per second). To be honest, for home use, 10Mbs is fine. You'll find most hubs are 10/100 these days as the price has dropped so much. Also, most network interface cards in PCs and laptops are 10/100. Normally they will have an autosense feature to negotiate the speed to be used.

The link for the manufacturers site for a DSL-604+ is http://www.dlink.co.uk/products_index.htm. You should also find the blurb for the DSL-504 there as well - basically a 504 does the same thing but without the wireless bit.
The blurb on the model itself is http://www.dlink.co.uk/314.htm
Netgear have an equivalent model as well. Haven't tried it but D-Link and Netgear are both well known "name" brands.
