Cable Router

Ive just signed our house up for NTL bb, got 2mb and phone for about £25 /month which was pretty cheap.

Now we just need a decent router to do the job.

Ive seen a few on Ocuk, i like the look of the Linksys ones, but not sure about the others really.

Can anyone recommend me a decent one?

Thanks

Ive also seen a sicko Draytek one:

Which looks brilliant, but is pretty expensive.

Can anyone comment on this?

Thanks

Ah yes, and it also needs wireless!

Thanks

Draytek routers are supposed to be bloody brilliant.

So ive heard.

But yeah the WRT54GL is probably the next best thing that i might go for.

Any setup advise people can give me for this?

What do you mean? Just connect cable modem -> router -> machines, enable wireless security (see wireless FAQ for starters, ask specific questions if you need to)/disable wireless and off you go.

I mean in terms of third party firmware upgrades? Like is there a specific one which is recommended?

Also am i right in thinking that i will be able to use this on an adsl connection as well (providing i have an ethernet adsl modem?).
