    slight variant, looking for a wireless router then is also able to open a port for bitcomet.
    I want an option that can equal my current speed on my non-wireless router which is about 300k/sec

    Don't know if you want a dsl modem included or not but i got a netgear (dg834gt) wireless router & modem for €99 in Pcworld Liffey Valley about four weeks ago. It will do normal wifi but came with a usb wireless adapter for one pc it claims will do speeds up to 108mbs.
    Works fine for me, was a bit shaky syncing with eircom adsl at first but i've updated the firmware and it's caused no problems since.
    Price seemd ok when compared to what i saw on Komplett, esp. when delivery charges are taken into account.
    I'm not sure if they had it priced wrong though, 'cos i brought it and another similar netgear router that only worked up to g standared wifi & the guy at the counter told me the price of the lower spec router was €129, which made no sense to me but it's their shop so who was i to argue?

    ... sorry forgot to add I use azureus and opening port in firewall is fine, as I'm sure is the case with any router, step by step instructions are given at www.portforward.com

    What you are looking for is called UPNP.

    Any router that can't do port forwarding is a severely useless and cheap piece of crap. I'm sure any router made by a brand youd heard of before could do it.
