    Hi, I'm getting Permanet installed next week but have found out that they only supply a cable modem with one output (i.e. for one computer only), this, coupled with the fact they have no tech support regarding the issue as they don't support any routers leaves me a bit bothered. As more than one person in my house will be wanting to use the BB, my brother with his 360, my sister with her DS and Dad with his laptop, there must be a tried and trusted router that is proven to work with the Permanet service... right?!.. HELP!

    Assuming they supply an standard IP connection over ethernet, any decent home broadband router that works with cablemodems (even though it is a wireless service) should work.

    Don't get a DSL router as these contain a DSL modem which you don't need.

    I have permanet connection, any cable broadband router should be ok... I use a Linksys WRT54G without any problems and i would recommend one ...

    Thanks for the help lads, when it comes to myself and past experiences with router compatibility (damn you Digiweb wireless), I just wasn't in the form for playing te guessing game again...
