    Guys N Gals,

    I've 25mb broadband (wired ) and I'm looking for a wireless router, can anyone advise of what is a relatively inexpensive option on ebay or any of the other sites.

    Also i have a printer with a network card so I need the wireless router to have one or two ports.

    Thank you in advance for your help

    Here;

    Its a great quality router with good coverage. Cisco bought Linksys and started changing (cheaping up) the components, this is the old spec with a broadcom chip and 16MB onboard ram.

    It has the hidden value of being able to upgrade it to a better firmware if extra functions are needed:

    Hi Rory,
    Are there any restrictions/recommendations for the type of wireless router to use with magnet Fibre?

    There are really any restrictions/recommendations for the type of wireless router to use with ANY provider as long as the Internet is being presented via ethernet (as oppposed to anlaogueline, co-ax or other medium). Pick whatever suits you.
