I I really recommend Belkin, they are about $99 these days. But if you want cheaper, even the Dick Smith branded ones will work just fine.

Thank for the response guys

Re the Pre-N Wireless.
1) If I am running both Mac and PC on the network will I have to buy special Belklin PC cards for each device on the network ?
2) In respect to the new 802.11n high speed wireless standard. The Pre-N router is not compatible from my limited understanding .. could this be a future issue in terms of having to then buy another router?

3) Where would I buy one of these Pre-N routers and the associated Belklin PC cards ( if that is what I would need)

How about Cisco routers ? Is there any reason why I wouldn't use a Cisco router or are they not compatible with the telsetraclear set-up

Thanks chaps

Good luck
