Will this do as a router and modem for my new ADSL connection

If so it will take ethernet connections to the other computers

Thanks

Yes, and you can connect four machines to it using ethernet cables. It says so in the 'more details' tab ... ;) :)

Netgear are a well-respected make, yes. However, if you're dealing with multiple machines, you should really consider a version that supports wireless - it will make setting up your PCs a lot more straightforward if you're not mucking about with lengths of ethernet cable.

For similar money though you could get a wireless one, even if you don't need it now you'll regret not having one some day when you get a notebook or wireless PDA.
