I've had a Netgear DG834 v2 for a couple of years and it's worked fine. I'm looking for a faster updated router that will do the same job,ie ; connect 4 pc's upstairs by cable to ADSL but ALSO has the capability to wireless a laptop downstairs.

I thought about the D Link 4300, but does'nt this need some other kind of ethernet router to connect to ADSL ??

I've decided to go for the Netgear DG834PN. Just one thought, can the router accept a wired signal at the same time as a wireless signal or does it have to be set at one or the other ?

It's basically identical to the router you have just the updated version, the only speed increase will be over wireless *if you have hardware on the other end that will handle it.* If you don't then it's not going to do much for you.

OK thanks, but I can have 1 or 2 wired pcs running at the same time on the router with a laptop on wireless can I ? or does the router have to be set to either wired or wireless.
