Maplins are selling a Wireless router and notebook adaptor kit (WKPC54G) for £60. Probably translates to €90 - €100 in their Irish outlets. According to Maplins the router is "effectively equivelant" to the WRT54G.

The only snag, from a VoIP perspective, is neither of the above (WKPC54G or WRT54G) have builtin VoIP ports.

You're right, it would be more appropriate in Net/Comms or Wireless, but a number of ppl on this forum seem to be using WRT54G so I thought it'd be of interest.

It's close but not quite as versatile :
