I bought this router for £35 from Ebuyer after sending back a Buffalo one which didn't work very well. What Ebuyer don't say on the website is that this Acer router comes with a free PCMCIA laptop wireless card in the box so for £35 this is excellent value for money.
The router is small, light and packed with features. You can add mac filtering for both wireless and wired clients, wep and features an activity log. There is an option to hide the ssid although this does not seem to work. Also it states on the box the coverage is up to 300m however sitting in the room below the router the coverage is quite poor, I receive a "low" signal strength and a connection of 2mbps on my computer which is pretty bad since the maximum should be 108mbps. I can pick up my 2 neighbours wireless lan a lot stronger than my own.
I haven't received any disconnections yet whilst connecting with my 2 computers so the connection seems quite reliable.
If you don't have a huge house or lots of brick walls then this wireless router would be great.

routers are good if you have more than one computer - with having teenagers with laptops and studying a levels, we found it extremely useful as I'm also having to use the internet for study and ciao of course. lyn
