...For a family to own a PC at home is almost second nature today. To own 2 or 3 different computers is nothing unusual. But powering all 3 with its own Modem and internet connection can prove costly and much congestion on the phone line. But now the answer to your problems is here.

Review of Netgear ADSL Modem Router

Netgear DG834PN Wireless ADSL Modem Router

Advantages: Facilities, easy set up, lights(!), stability

ADSL Modem

Advantages: small, cheap, fast
Disadvantages: gets hot, not as cheap as USB only modems

...ADSL Modem (single ethernet port so not a hub or a switch) * Power Adapter to run the modem off UK mains. * Verticle stand * Cables: 3m Ethernet Cat5 cable (network cabe), 2m USB cable and telephone Cable * Resource CD-ROM * QuickInstallation Guide * Warranty and registration and support Information cards * ADSL microfilter You can either connect the modem to the USB port on your computer or you can use it as a network device. I have it plugged into a Linux Debian firewall by using ethernet and the computer works as the router. Many people will not have that find of setup so the modem canb e set to do the routing as well. The modem can support up to 8 Mbps downstream and 800 Kbps upstream. As the modem has ethernet functionality, it makes this modem able to work with most operating systems so the user is not limited to only...
