ADSL Broadband - Wireless router advice needed

Hi,

I am looking to install broadband via ADSL and then network this around
the house to three computers wirelessly using a router.

I do not want to have to leave a computer on as a server, the router and
modem must be combined.

I've looked around on the Internet and have seen a router at: -

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=56082

Would this be adequate?

I've been looking at broadband suppliers and again their seems to be a
lot of choice.
Could anyone reccommend one at 512k+ that has no bandwidth cap?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

No, as it does not contain an ADSL modem, as well as the router.

Have a look at the following for examples of what you want:

Belkin 7630
Netgear 834G
USR 9106

Have a look at http://www.adslguide.org.uk/.

However, there are several ISP's meeting your requirements, including:

Bulldog*
Pipex
Plusnet
Zen

*If you/anyone does decide to use Bulldog would you mind quoting my referral
code when signing up - just quote "bdol 87431" when signing up online (under
"How did you hear about Bulldog?/Referred by a Friend") or by telephone.

wrong. Read the reviews.

"It has everything:

- ADSL modem
- 4 port switch
- USB network connection
- Wireless networking
- Patch cable, USB cable, phone cable (small connectors)
- Good range, working from loft to distant ground floor (2 bars).

Worked great out of the box, no problems at all."

etc etc

My Vigor 2600We is now a excellent bit of kit, it works, and has uptime
measured in months... (used to be a POS before I loaded the newer 2.5.5
firmware thou...)
