    Hi I have an adsl2+ connection and I am after a good wireless router cause I will have probably 2 desktop pc's and a nokia 5800 connected thru the wireless port and my main computer I want connected thru ethernet port cause I do a lot of heavy internet use... I am using a netcomm nb6plus4 modem/router which is not wireless but it works awesome I have had no troubles with it.. would the netcomm nb6plus4w be good to use or any other router that anyone else uses.. Thank You for your help....

    I use a netgear WGR614 and it works fine for my needs which you can find here or you can get a WGR614L which is an open source router and you can flash custom firmware on it for added features. I like my WGR614 and haven't had and issues with it. I would say away form Netgear's Rangemax WPN824 series tho I had one before and it was a headache.

    It is older but it works really well for me. Sometimes new stuff isn't always better. I think its one of the best netgear routers.

    wireless dos not support gigabit but some Wireless-n do support wired gigabit. They support 300 Mbps wireless think but they can be costly.
