...The Linksys WAG160N N300 is an ADSL2+ wireless modem router, meaning it has a a modem built in. It is for use with BT Internet connections rather than for use with a Cable broadband connection (i.e. Virgin) although a Cable version is also available. It?s an ADSL2 router, which means it supports the newer ADSL standard, which could mean faster transfer speeds although this really depends on your line quality, distance from Exchange, service with ISP, etc. The router currently costs £74.99 from PC World but a bit less at £59.99 on their website. I bought mine about 8 months ago on Ebuyer for around £55. IN THE BOX You receive two ADSL filter s, RJ11 cable, user manual, manual and software CD, power adapter and lastly, the router itself.

...INTRO The Belkin N+ router is one of the higher end (consumer) wireless modem router offerings from Belkin.

...this netgear wireless router is the best way of connecting to the internet that i have found. I used to have a sagem f@st 800, but this was very unreilable, so i decided to purchase this. When we got it home it looked very simple to install, but when it actually came to installing it, it didnt seem to want to. We phoned technical support who suggested that we take it back to where we purchased it to see if we could get a replacement - which we did (turned out the first one was faulty), installed this one very easily and we were up and running in no-time. We have never had any problems with it working, and we always get a very good signal all round the house. I use it to connect my laptop in the living room to the router in the office.... Read review
