ADSL Router Recommendations

[Ian]

Over the next month or two I'm going to be re-doing the room with all the computer stuff in it and would quite like to get the wired network up to 1000Mbps.

I'm tempted to get just a decent ADSL router (range is probably the most important aspect for me, as it's not great on our standard o2 router) and then link this to a separate gigabit router which I'll just use for the wired hardware (2 PCs and a NAS).

Any suggestions or recommendations on a decent ADSL router?

ok, I may have missed the memo, but AFAIK, modems/routes will only transfer data at 10/100Mbps, they ain't no real home user 1000s. Won't you need a second mortgage? I do remember a Cisco on sale for £3k

and don't forget to replace the std lan 'card' in the PC, and the cable will have to be upto 'spec' also.

Oh, my BT modem is a 10/100/1000Mbps.

My current LAN card (the onboard one) calls itself a gigabit ethernet 10/100/1000 card and there appears to be some gigabit routers/switches out there for just a little bit more than normal, for example:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000PLSAII/

Wouldn't those give me a gigabit capability between wired PCs?

I dunno, I just stuck with 'home hobby' stuff, never needed a lan party.

I advise doing a bit of research on plausibility of a home user actually achieving 1000Gb ... been a long time since I looked at any of that tech.

Cheers Mucks, will have a read up and see what's available .

Ha ha I read that as 'IAN' rather than 'LAN'!
