At the moment im on a normal modem, and me fella wants to go wireless, so the son can fix his Xbox etc etc.

What i want to know is which ADSL broadband router do you recommend?
With so many to choose from, i want a secure fast one, if ya know what i mean, sorry but i havent a clue what to look for:o
Any ideas??
much appreciated;)
 
I prefer Netgear and Linksys stuff myself. Belkin are also usually OK but I fell out with them when they introduced advert redirections(which was hastily removed when teh IT bods kicked up a fuss :D ).
 
Mine is a wireless netgear and i have never had a problem with it
it was easy to set up and my brother David1 also has a netgear wireless router
 
mines a netgear as well... was having problems with it taking a while to start up if switched off, ive got round that now :D and itsworking fine.
 
That does not bother Sky usually :D

I agree though they are usually good stuff, I use a Linksys WRT54GL personally.
 
Got both a netgear DG834G and a belkin 7633 and both work great. Make sure you get an adsl2+ router if you want to take advantage of faster internet in the near future (or now on certain providers).

That one I linked is ADSL2+ for £15

Trouble is you might only use it for a couple of years before you want to change to an ADSL3+ or whatever they decide to call it in the future.
 
Whichever you go for, check that it is Xbox Live Compatible before purchasing it.

See the list here.

Netgear stuff is usually good, but there are some that are incompatible.
See the drop down link on the page I linked to.
 
You don't need a wireless router. I use this system for my son's X-Box live. Haven't had any problems with it. dLAN 200 AVeasy Starter Kit. It was recommended as a more reliable alternative to the X-Box wireless adapter.
 
cheers everyone, think me fella might get the netgear, and make sure its compatible with the xbox(mattylad;) )
 
Sky issue Sagem routers out now. And in my opinion they are poor. Connection drops every 30 mins or so for about 30 seconds.
