Smart Telecom Wireless Router

I'm switching to Smart this week and need a wireless router - their offer of one for €140 seems a bit steep though! Any recommendations for a cheaper one?

Best thing to do is use the modem (due to it been ADSL2) and set it to "Bridge Mode" and connect a Linksys WRT54G (get a WRT54GL is possible, more ram and faster CPU) flashed with DD-WRT will cost you ~65€

Alternatively if you can track down something like a Netgear DG834G (which is ADSL2 and should be a lot less than €140) you can just plug the thing in without bridging.

Mine works a treat
