I use a Linksys WRT54G WiFi AP/router (v2) connected to my ntl SACM. This
runs a 3rd party firmware (DD-WRT; this is the beauty of the WRT54G series).
A second WRT54G (v1) router at the other end of my house also runs DD-WRT.
Running in WDS mode the pair of routers communicate with each other and
extend the WiFi coverage throughout my property.
I have a PS2 cabled to router2 at the back of my house and I have a PS2
cabled to a PC upstairs which ICS shares the PC's WiFi connection (to the
router2, due to proximity).
I also have some hardware cabled to router1 which also figures on the
network.
I have a 1Mbps pipe from ntl, and this setup works great.
The Linksys WRT54G comes in numerous versions:

The beauty of this router is that its firmware is Linux based, and is
therefore open to 3rd party revision (e.g. DD-WRT) thus offering
improvements over the stock Linksys f/w.
HTH.
