Modem question

Gez

0
I've been looking around at some of the various equipment I may have to get, in terms of Modems, Routers etc.

As I have an ADSL modem already, I thought I could maybe just get a wireless router and combine the two.

1) My modem is a Westell USB ADSL. Looking on ebay (just type in 'Westell'...), they don't seem to be worth very much at all, compared with some of the equipment around. What's wrong with them? What do they lack that you would pay more for?

2) The Routers again vary so much. Is there anything I should watch out for that some of the cheaper ones may not have?

Thanks again.
 
What price bracket (routers) are you looking in and what features do you want e.g. wireless ? :)
 
As the Westell is USB it's not the best option to combine with a router and go wireless.

If I had to pick a modem/router/wireless then I'd have to go with the Netgear DG834G.

I've got 5 of them on different connections within my own family. They are excellent and come with a SPI firewall and 54g wireless. They are not the cheapest about but for hassle free experience I can't think of much better.

Hope this helps.
