Which wireless ADSL modem/router?

Any suggests on an ADSL wireless router?

I need something that's reliable and has a 4 port 10/100 switch built in.

I'm thinking either Netgear or Linksys?
Someone suggested 'Vigor' to me, I have no idea what this company are like though.

Anything up to the £60ish mark would be fine, maybe more if it's worth it but of course less is better

thanks

Vigor isn't a brand. Draytek is.
Doubt you'll get a (decent) Draytek for £60 though.

ok thanks.

What would you suggest from Netgear of Linksys?

Both have their faults.
The DG834GT isn't the most fantastically stable router, the G has issues with drifting SNR margin. The Linksys ADSL routers were (previously) pretty crap, though the more recent versions are decent.

Having just bought one myself, I can recommend the Linksys WAG54GS and appropriate wireless adapter - both can be had from your local huge computer store

for £65.

It has everything you specified and so far the connection has been rock-solid for me - even the wireless through some very thick stone walls has been superb!!!

Hope this helps....
