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).

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.

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!
