    Hi there!

    Our old router, this has just broken and I need a new router. Ideally, I would be looking for something similar to this, but maybe slightly better, like this. Our current internet plan is with AOL @ 8 mbps download speed.

    Now I need something with all of these ports at the back (sorry, I am not good with routers!)

    Any suggestions at a relatively cheap price that fits my needs would be great, I am open to wireless N too, as long as it is compatible!

    Thanks!

    Benji.

    Yeah go with that new DGND3300 if you need the best ADSL router combo there is, avoid the DGN2000 though its pretty unreliable from what ive heard.

    If the 3300 is too pricey just get another one of what you had, DG834G is a very popular, reliable and easy to use model, they keep releasing new revisions of it, keeping it up to date.

    Thanks! I am happy to try other brands of routers apart from netgear if you guys think that is a good idea?
