New Router Required.

New Modem/Router Required.

Not having had to buy a router for quite sometime (o2 used to supply them) I now find myself in the position of
having to purchase one.

The provider I am looking at can supply a Technicolour TG582n 4 port wireless, these are not very good by all accounts.

Would this be a better choice NETGEAR WGR614v9 4 port wireless ?

Or can anybody recommend anything else ?

I run an Apple Mac if that helps.

It depends on what you're looking for really and how much you're willing to pay.

The router you linked is for Virgin Cable customers and appears to be a bit rubbish (specs wise), so as you're looking towards XILO and an ADSL/Fibre solution instead then it's probably the wrong choice.

But if that's your budget and you don't mind a router for the more technically minded then I recently got a TP-Link TD-W8968 for Christmas and can recommend it. It's much more advanced and yet also a lot cheaper, though you do need to be comfortable with making your own router settings (I imagine you are if you're going to get a non-ISP specific one).

The added bonus of USB support for flash drives and mobile broadband is extra useful. I think they're about £33 on Amazon UK right now, which is absurdly cheap.
