Router

I am thinking to buy a new router, but I don't know what to look for.
Atm I've decided to get:
"Netgear DGB111PN Modem Router and USB Adaptor"
http://www.argos.co.uk/wcsstore/argos/images/157-6753904SPA68UC434760M.jpg

Its worth £90, but is there any other routers you recommend?

linksys for sure.

BUT many adsl configurations nowadays wont work with routers of any brand... 50/50 chance

whats the difference between adsl and a cable router?

adsl router dials/sends login information, cable just fakes mac address and logins directly into cable"modem" (cable modem is in fact a router and provides a dhcp server)

well it depends what internet provider you have oO


you cant use an adsl router on a cable connection!

(but nowadays nearly all routers can be used on adsl and cable.. )

Linksys and i can tell u why :


1. its part of Cisco
2. Cisco OWNS the network equipment world
3. Cisco has the best router / switches / blah material
4. its even ownage if you buy a wireless linksys ( which i have )

i have it for 2 years now, and still not a single issue with 1 wired pc and 4 wireless pcs.

No lag issue, no resetting needed, etc etc

OMFG ...

his mom bought a netgear ... WHICH IS SUCKAGE TBH xD

Gave up on netgear because of shitty firmware. Draytek did better but couldn't handle maxdsl very well, moved to a Belkin for better config, and snr override.

Depends on your connection speed (make sure you get a fast enough router).

Wireless does make games lag, but it all depends where you are situated from the router.

I use a linksys @ mine and a Belkin54G @ my girlfriends :).

I get lag as the wireless is down stairs across the other side of the house :P. At mine I generaly have it in bedroom or games room lol :P, but I still get packet loss.

Fuck me I get 45packet loss on LAN on CSS :S....

Go for a Linksys as I have found it the best for gaming :D, hardly any lag.
