netgear dg834

well im setting up a wired network next week in my house for aol broadband 1mb (soon to be 2mb) conenction and i was thinking of using the Netgear DG834 ADSL Router as my modem/router and then a network cable to each computer.

does anyone know if this router is about the best im gonna get for £47?

i chose wired over wireless because of my budget and friends bad experiences with wireless, and i dont see whats wrong with wired anyways.

anyone with experience with netgear and is this a good option?

when you say "the best", what are you expecting from it exactly?

if its just to share the net between a few pc's then it should do the job fine...

any ADSL Modem/Router should be upto the job

theres a nice little write up here for you to have a read.
