    I would recommend Belkin 802.11g Wireless DSL/Cable Gateway Router Part # F5D7230uk4. You should be able to pick it up in PC World for around €80. I recommend it as I have NTL:300; Belkin Router; ATA Sipura 2100 for VoIP (Blueface) and also use Skype from my laptop. You will need a laptop Wireless Adapter if you do not have one in-built. Hope this helps

    Got connected up to NTL bb and I asked about a wireless router and I was told by the installers that I can ask for one from NTL if I need one

    Weve been using a Linksys router from PC World since the day we got the NTL modem, never had a single problem, very easy to configure and very handy for any tinkering we wanted to do.

    Cheap, neat and easy to setup:

    Got one of these for my brother's NTL connection. Works like a dream. It's just a little bigger than a cigarette packet (though not as thick), so it keep everything super neat, particularly with the new small NTL:250 modem.

    The only problem is that if you want to add wired devices to your network (VoIP hardware, servers, etc), you'll have to buy more hardware - this router only has one ethernet port; for the modem. It will take up to 15 wireless devices though, so you can add anything else so long as it's 802.11b/g/n
