Hi looking to buy a wireless ADSL router now I'm on broadband but cant decide which to buy

The missus has a pc upstairs and I have a laptop which I use all over the house so a wireless is a must for me.

Been looking at these:

Netgear DG824M £170 inc 1 PCMCIA card

Speedtouch 570 v2 £186 inc 1 PCMCIA card

D Link DSL 604+ £165 inc 1 PCMIA card

are these any good?

any other suggestions?


At present me and the missus are having to share a Speedtouch 330 ADSL usb modem!

Cheers

Bob

All of the ones you've listed are pretty good. You might want to also consider Buffalo's wireless broadband router. I'm using it as I type this.

I've had it a few months now - very impressed. Connections are very good - never lost the signal (we live in town house and it works happily on any floor). It comes with an integrated 4 port switch and firewall. It will also do the normal NAT and MAC address spoofing.

Best price I found was More Computers - £138 inc VAT (router and PCMCIA cardbus bundle).

Thanks Chris, I'll have a look at the buffalo one.

Did you buy it from the morecomputers website?
Not heard of them before...

Anyone else?

Are you sure the WBS-G54A-CB-1#BDL is an ADSL router not a cable router ?

 

Yes I did buy from More Computers - very good. Delivered in 48 hours.

The Buffalo router is a broadband router - it will take either cable or adsl. It connects to the cable / adsl modem via a standard ethernet port.

Details of the router from the Buffalo website.

Draytek vigor 2600We works perfectly for me.

 

4X4BOB, The Buffalo Broadband router is not built for ADSL in the same way as the D Link DSL 604+ or Netgear DG824M. It does not have a built in ADSL modem. If your ADSL modem is USB it will not connect to the Buffalo. Be warned!

After talking to a mate I've decided to go for the D Link DSL 604+

Cheers,
