i've been using netgear wireless modem/router DG834G (54Mbs) and it's 802.11b predecessor DG824M on esatbt for almost 2 years, never had a problem. i'd gladly recommend these or the DG834GT (108Mbs) depending on your network cards.
this meant i could put the zyxel out to pasture.
bought my stuff from elara.

Aldi has a wireless DSL router/modem with integrated 4 port switch and 56k modem (!!?) thrown in too next week for about 100 quid.
