    Using UPC Broadband in the house with a cable in use for internet, not ideal.
    Need a wireless router, dont know much about these.

    Any advice on where is best place to get them and what spec's would I need for 25mb speed?

    Any feedback greatly appreciated.

    Tks.

    I picked up a TP Link N300 wireless router in Harvey Norman for €40 last weekend for the exact same purpose for the inlaws and it's speed is up to 150mb, so more than enough for your purposes.

    It was easy to set up and seems to do the job fine although I cant vouch for how far the signal reaches, quality, etc as I only used it during the setup.

    Just make sure whatever router you get is not a combined modem/router as all you need is the wireless router if you have a cable modem already

    Can't fault the tp-links they're not the prettiest of routers but they're robust and have a nice bunch of features... for the price you can't go wrong

    The signal is quite good. I have it going through a few walls about 20m away and no worries even works a lot further with no obstructions
