ADSL router - advice on which to choose?

Hi all.

Ok - so our landlord has moved out. And now he wants his ADSL router back. :eek:

So the time has come for me to buy my own ADSL modem/router. I've never even thought about it before, so I've got no idea what sort of things or functions I need.

I'm looking to spend up to 100 (GBP). What sort of functions are there, which ones are needed, etc etc? NAT/PAT, DHCP spoof, basic firewall or whatever? :confused:

We've currently got a stand-alone ASUS AAM 6000EV that we plug into a hub so 3 or 4 of us can share a web connection. I'm looking for a straight swap with (hopefully) not many hassles. I want to buy one, swap it over, then continue as if nothing happened. Or as close as possible, at least :D

Anyone got any advice on what sort of stuff (or even which models) is/are cool?

Cheers!!

So... whats the make and model of your landlord's router? Get another one of those if you are happy with it!

Dabs have a Conexant AMX-CA61E 4 port router/modem in their value range works fine for me :)

Cheers Noo-noo and Archer.

Noo-noo - fair comment... Was just wondering what sort of things I should expect to find for under 100 these days. As far as I know (with my limited knowledge of these things) the router we are currently using cost just over 100 when new. That was well over a year ago. I'm wondering if I can get a better device for the same money we paid...?

Archer - cheers dude. That looks pretty interesting. Am running that one by the other guys in the house.

Thanks to you both!
