newbie question

[ringo747]

hi guys,

this may sound like a daft question but in the networking section i see 2 categories... cable routers and adsl routers.

Which one should I be looking in.. I am on a BT line and my ISP is onetel?

Any suggestions for a wireless router would be helpful.. Need wired connections on it too!

Tanx

Im thinking about going for a MacBook Pro soon and so would like the option of the new wireless network 802.11n support.

Anyone used this router?

I will be using this downstairs with a cable ran upstairs into a hub. Two pcs are then connected to the hub. The wireless will just be used for laptop.

Thanks

yeah that would be ideal but to be honest i cant be bothered with the hassle of putting another cable up through the attic! I have just one cable coming from existing router into hub and then two out from the hub... It took me about half a day to get wire up through attic.. such an awkward job in this house! Existing router is playing up so think im due a change anyways.

Whats difference between hub and bridge? And am I using my hub correctly ie 1 wire in, 2 out?
