    Hi guys. .. question for you. Hope it aint been asked a thousand times already.

    I have NTL broadband and am happy with it. im looking to fix up wireless and my question is:

    By keeping the NTL broadband connection, can I attach any router to make it a wireless access point?
    If not any router, can somebody suggest what would work best with NTL?
    Thanks

    Any wireless router will do, as long as it's not for DSL connections. (It needs to have a RJ45 WAN port, not a RJ11 (telephone line) one). The Linksys WRT54G will work fine, but netgear and dlink will also have something similar.

    I'm actually in the same boat as GBX.
    I rang NTL themselves to as what routers were compatible and they told me Netgear because they have NAT support.
    does this really make a difference at all?:confused:

    Netgear will work, but pretty much every router will have NAT. They probably just recommended Netgear because that's the one they supply themselves.

    Three routers that will work:

    Netgear
    Linksys
    Dlink
