Spec me a budget cable Router

Have my date for FTTC with IDNET on Friday and I'm after a cheap wireless cable router as money is tight at the moment. Not sure if its a concern but my speed will be about 15Mbps and pushing it at that, they actually thought BT might reject it. I was just gonna run a network cable up the stairs from the modem until I could afford a well regarded router but my mum and sis both have netbooks they need to use. Budget... Under £50 would be great. Under £40 even better.

TP link or edimax for that budget.

DLink DIR615, flashed with DD-WRT, £20~ from that famous auction site.

Seriously, you can't go wrong, it's a great little combo.

Do you know the distance from the cab?

I'm sure the speed will be significantly higher than the BT estimate.
