However all are based on the "g" standard, plenty fast enough for 20meg speeds but if you are futureproofing for Virgin Media's 50meg you should be looking at the "n" standards (not that any current wireless cards inbuilt to laptops support "n").

The Netgear WGR614 is also a "g" speed router.
That's not quite true rob, i have 2 laptops both have the wireless 'n' card built into them running on a dir655 wireless 'n' router. you can buy wireless n cards for laptops in both mini pci & mini pci express form.
