Can anybody recommend a wireless router for NTL

My work have decided to upgrade my exisiting 1meg connection to 10meg and have also authorised me to buy a wireless router as well,

Can anybody advise of a quality wireless router to use with NTL broadband, not really to concerned about the price as the work are paying for it.

Cheers in advance

I got a Netgear WPNT834 and have to say that its been REALLY good. Its the one with 3 external antennas and seems to have excellent coverage. It was easy to setup and includes a built in firewall.

http://www.netgear.co.uk/extra/h_ran...er_wpnt834.php

Highly recommend it, although 2 newer versions are just about to be realeased:
WNR834B - 300mbs + 10/100 4 port switch
WNR854T - 300mbs + 10/100/1000 4 port switch

Hope that helps

I can second that. Have had SMC in the past and set up DLink and other Netgear Routers for friends, most of them where a NIGHTMARE. But with the WPNT834 they have created a nice little router. Also check out www.tomshardware.com where they tested about 10 routers (incl. those new n routers, but stay away from those) and the Netgear came out top.
