Netgear are good.

Had the DG834GT on 1mb Bt Broadband and it was faultless for both ethernet and wireless.

now running a WGT624 on 10mb NTL Connection and again, this is faultless.

834GT is a ADSL Modem router - Will work with BT Broadband

WGT624 is a Router - Will also work with BT but has to have the modem connected to it (I think)

834 comes with hardware firewall and I never had problems with it. Protected both laptops on wireless easily.

Either with a hardware firewall (built in to ADSL Modem/Router) or a good software one.

I used to use Kerio Personal Firewall as a software one until I moved to the router.

Because a free peice of software won't give you the best protection you need if your a heavy downloader. Now, just browsing the net, you should pretty much be fine with XP's built in one.

I use BlackICE PC Defender, McAfee Security Centre, Norton Personal Firewall, and the XP one
