Netgear Router

Summary

Superb performance, and being a complete IT spod, I understand WEP encryption and setting up now.
I encountered problems when I realised my ethernet cable on my laptop was faulty, so setting up took a long time. But once running, it's superb.

wireless technology (via network card slot) is faster than ADSL USB connection simply because my USB is wearing out from using loads of devices (cameras, mouse, printers etc). Hence, not suffering from slow down any more.
