I use virgin media, does this mean i need a ADSL or DSL router ?

do you have a cable modem? I'd go with the WRT54GL

Should i get wired or wireless cable router?

Wireless, they are then both. Should you want to add a Wifi device such as Wii or Laptop, then you can.

Hmm ok..

Thats 54mps?

Yes it is. If you really want draft-N hardware, IIRC the WRT150N, 300N or 350N does the same third-party firmware as the WRT54GL.

By "DSL", they really mean "no modem".

and? N isn't officially ratified (it's still a draft at the moment) so for the moment I wouldn't bother with it.

The WRT54GL is full of win, even if it is "only" 54G.

What about the wireless which is between N and G? Whats it called? Is it ok?

 

[Rainmaker]

You mean Turbo G (108Mbps)? That's what I had with my DG834GT before I got the WRT54GL. It was OK, but the wireless signal strength is tweak-able in the WRT so I actually get better coverage from that than I did from my turbo G router lol

I'm not 100%, but I'm sure I read that with the right wifi adapter you can turbo G the WRT54GL ("afterburner" on Tomato, or something?)... Maybe someone can clarify.
