    Guys,

    Which wireless router with a wan port would you recommend ??

    I was thinking of the "Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem Firewall Router with 4-port 10/100 switch " but wondering if it was a bit of an over kill for a home network.

    Finally are there any websites you recommend to purchase from that delivers to Ireland ???

    Is it for a DSL connection or cable?

    That netgear is a dsl modem/router so is only good if you have DSL. If you're looking for a router what has an entrenet (RJ-45) WAN input then the linksys wrt54g is your best bet.

    As for websites: komplett.ie, elara.ie, expansys.ie, microaid.ie. I've done business with them all and they're good. Shop around for best price though. And if you can't see it on microaid site mail and ask them to order it in. They prob have the best customer service.

    Thanks IRLRobins.

    It is for use with Lastmile broadband which is cable. Currently the cable connects into my laptop but I want to connect the cable to a wireless router so that I can use the laptop anywhere in the house.

    Then the netgear is useless. Get the Linksys WRT54G. You'll have no problems with it.

    I use it on my IBB connection. Solid.

    any really difference between the Linksys WRT54G and the Linksys WRT54GS ?

    Is the speedbooster bit just PR Speak to help sell the product. From a price view it is € 4 euro difference on one website.

    If you have a linksys wireless card that also has speedbooster you can get speeds faster than the g standard of 54mbps. So unless you have such a card get the vanilla WRT54G.
