adsl wireless router/modem?

[rodga]

hi everyone
im a noob when it comes to adsl, ive only ever had 3g
so if i get the R99 deal from WA ill be moving to adsl

i will be getting a adsl line from telkom soon so just wanna get my ducks in a row
but im not sure what equipment i need, i read through a couple of threads and still confused
just looking for modem/router that i can connect to wirelessly (preferably) with my laptop, ps3, xbox and sony x1.
what should i look at getting and what will it set me back?

any advice and links appreciated
thanks

You got the right section, but people are probably busy working for a change A decent modem/router will probably set you back R500-750. Most of the people here reccomend Billion routers but I'm not sure where to get them. Search for some other similar topics, you can also try looking in the ADSL sections.

You can get a list of places to buy Billion routers from their website: http://www.billionsa.com/wheretobuy/retailstores.php

I'd recommend the 7300N (as I always have). It has a long wireless range and supports half-bridge.

I've got this one, came highly recommended from a friend. its pricier though, but worth it.

that looks really nice, wont be out of place in a home theatre setup, but its a bit too much i think
anything cheaper you can recomend +-500?

hmm... I found this one in the same range http://www.pc-direct.co.za/pWAG120N-E1/Wireless-N-Home-ADSL2-Modem-Router-Annex-B.aspx

dont know what its like though, unfortunately. maybe someone else has experience in this one...

Personally I'd got with something that has Wireless N. it is the latest wireless standard and enhances the signal strength and is faster.
