I need a place where I can buy a USB router.

Thanks for the help.

I checked amazon.co.uk and no luck.

DON'T get a Netgear router! Not unless you know and have checked that the model is one that works, because the most common ones don't!

Why don't you go to www.ebuyer.co.uk

Great stuff there

I found the Netgear (I believe it's called) - a USB router, but check with ISP to see if you can use it whith there modem.

Good luck!

PS - I am also looking for a USB router that is compatiable with my modem.

I am with HomeChoice ADSL. No luck yet. They say it will never work.

In that case, get the 3Com as they're the best NICs you can buy IMO :)

Col, ok on ebuyer goto Categories > Networking > PCI Network Adaptors/Kits and theres about 120 odd items available. Sort them by price order and you should be able to pick any 10/100 Ethernet cards, don't know what your price range is but all I'll say is 3Com are probably the best, but a bit pricey.

To be honest, the ebuyer cards will probably be just as good and the cheapest I can see is :-

Ebuyer 10/100 Network Card with w/wake on Lan - Retail Box

Our Price £2.87
£3.38 inc VAT

186 in stock (Usually ships in 24 hrs)
QuickFind code: 31095
Mfr part #: EA1115

Only reason I picked that is because the cheaper one isnt in stock.

*expects everyone to have a go about it being so cheap and rubbish*
