    Going to get one of the three below, based on the various reviews i've read on the web, they would appear to be best of breed in the €150 - €300 price bracket.

    Would like to hear comments or suggestions on the below, and if you've found a cheaper place to find them, please post an url!!

    In First place

    Draytek Vigor 2600 ADSL Router

    Cheapest place so far found that delivers to Ireland ..

    http://www.comsal.co.uk , about £146 Sterling (before delivery)

    In Second Place

    Solwise SAR-110

    Cheapest place so far found that delivers to Ireland ..

    http://www.solwise.co.uk/modems.htm#SAR110 , about £80, not a router.

    In Third Place

    D-Link DSL-504

    Cheapest place so far that delivers to Ireland ..

    http://www.itdirect.ie/products.asp?man=1000153 , €157.24

    A router isnt the highest priority, but would be a nice feature, thus the inclusion of the two routers.

    So , what would you go for, and do you any recommendations for cheaper place to get this kit, or recommend something i've left out?

    Check out the Zoom 5560 X3...

    I've had mine up & running from day 1 on Netsource, perfect for the job. It's a single-port Ethernet router, all it needs is a hub/switch if there's more than 1 PC. Includes one onboard filter and two external.

    EUR150 in PCW Liffey Valley

    The Solwise SAR110 is indeed an ADSL Modem/Router and a brilliant one at that! I have one setup here and it's the monkeys :D It just doesn't have a built-in hub which is fine as the whole network doesnt go down when you reset the router which is the whole point. :cool:
