Router for NTL set-top box ?

Please can anyone tell me the manufacturer and model number of any cheap wired router which they have made work with an NTL set-top box. Thanks very much in advance.

For reasons why, see my next post 'RP614 and NTL cable broadband'.

WRT is a wireless one. Plenty of good wired only ones, from Linksys and others.

Thanks for the rapid response. I'm sorry to labour the point, but can you tell me a model number which you know works. I have already lost money on one router and I don't want to repeat the experience

Re: Router for NTL set-top box ?

Can't give you a personal recommendation since I use a wired/wireless router - the Linksys one given above by Stuart.

You want to ensure that any router's WAN (internet) port can support 10/100 speeds so you can run the ever increasing broadband services becoming available.

See my reply to your other thread - your Netgear probably will work if you register it.
