    If you're on Eircom you're going to need an ADSL modem at some point.

    I used a Netgear DGN2000 for a while and id recommend it.

    I used XBL and surfing, streaming etc no problem.


    Generally speaking..Netgear and Linkysys seem to be the popular choice.

    Any decent router these days would have QoS. Think the dgn2000 has it but to be honest I didn't use it cause I only used the router for 1 wk then I got UPC cable and the adsl router was no good to me.

    I now have a netgear wndr3700 and that has fairly decent qos.
