ok guys,
currently have a BT Voyager 100 USB ADSL modem, which is well old, it did its job no probs for the last 2 years but now Ive upgraded my BB I think its time i upgraded to a Router which will make it much easier for playing on Xboxlive as my current ICS option is not ideal.
so From OcUK there are 5 real options as i dont want to spend much over £50 including delivery.
My only real needs are for it to be a ethernet router / be reliable / capable of playing online with / able to be on 24/7 and do a fair amount of DLoading and finally the simpler to set up the better. I currently have a static IP and although i dont know what that really means if it means one router is easier to set up with that than another it may be a factor.
so here are the contenders
Billion BiPAC 5200

Netgear http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-016-NG&groupid=46&catid=115&subcat=794
so its pretty much out of those. I dont want to got wireless as I am not buying a XBOX wireless card and I have heard horror stories of setting up wireless connections.
so which wired router would be best ?
