I know this isn't really DVD-related in any way, but I couldn't think where else to post it. I am going to buy a Broadband router, which should I go for?
It needs to have a biult-in ADSL modem, router, and 4 port (or more) 10/100 Switch hub. At the moment I am looking at the Netgear DG814. Is this a good choice? Is there generally a limitation on how fast a broadband connection it can accept (I currently have a 3.3 MBit ADSL connection). Are there different types of ADSL connections to worry about or are they all standard? Will the computers connected to it be able to do everything they could do by being connected directly to the ADSL line through an internal modem? Anything else I should know before buying?
So what other manufacturers should I consider? Anything for under £130?
