Advice required USB Router

Please could someone out there recommend a router to use with Bt Broadband
USB connection, along with the best place on the web to purchase it from?,
if possible it would be helpful if it has a USB print server as well.


Many thanks in advance of any help.

You're unlikely to find a router with USB ports. If your PC doesn't have an
ethernet port and you don't want to fit one, you can get a USB to ethernet
convertor box. My NTL cable modem has both USB and ethernet ports.

Then mentioning USB just confuses the issue ! See the unit numbers
mentioned in the most recent thread you started, with the subject
"Simple Plug and play USB Router"

In that case then, you're stuffed. If you fancy building an IPCop
firewall you could use it on that, if that's not to your liking then
you'll have to buy an ADSL modem\router combo.
Bin the USB modem, it's not worth anything, you're not saving anything
by trying to use it again.
