Well I have some Neotopia router now but i will have to give it away when i switch provider me thinks and its old now.

Looking for something that has 4 ports and wireless option for a laptop. it will be used by two pc's with wired option and laptop on wireless.

will use 8mb option now and 25mb later maybe 54 mb in the future nothing above.

I dont know much about router and how they work but smallest latency is must.

Maybe there is something good from ocuk router range?

Ty for help
 
adsl/cable?

adsl, AM200 adsl modem + WRT54GL router with Tomato firmware
cable, WRT54GL with Tomato
 
I'm cheating here, but it's Eircom ADSL - I dunno where the 54 and 25Mbps is coming from though, because there's nothing that'll do that (unless Eircom's going to leapfrog the world and deploy VDSL)...
 
well using eircom dont think its cable as it comes from phone line simple boradband ? adsl i guess?

edit: want to switch from eircom 3mb to bt or some other provider to 7.6 mb and then they say when they upgrade the line in my area they will give free 20~ 25 mb connection upgrade that is probably in years time :rolleyes:

budget well around 50£~60£

BT will be ADSL too, but you won't get 25Mbps from them - it'll be up to 24Mbps when they finally get going with ADSL2+.
 
there is some routers that need to connect to your current router(dsl) router?

is there no routers with dsl inside them? as double router is just no for me ?
 
There are some routers with an ADSL modem built in, but they're nowhere near as good as the WRT54GL (without spending way more money).
 
The GS comes with the added bonus that you can use it as a doorstop.

No really...it's probably just supply and demand...
 
I honestly see no benefit in spending lots of money on a router, unless you are either having a lot of computers doing traffic intensive tasks, need advanced features (Traffic shaping, advanced firewall etc.) or you are having issues with line instability (Some routers are better at estimating your SNR than others).

I have a £10 2wire router, from ebay, and it does it's job, just as well, if not better than any router I've used in the past. I only changed due to suffering the commonly failing WAG54G, and find it much better than the linksys (Which I originally paid £70 for), even when it was in working condition.
