Hi,

I currently have a USB modem for ADSL, and have a PS2 and Xbox that needs to connect to the internet. At the moment this is done via Sygate Home Network internet sharing, but running a firewall at the same time makes it difficult for people to connect to me when I host stuff.

Resolution to this would be to get an external wireless router that I can use (ie. just pop it's IP into the consoles gateway) and it will dial up etc itself to connect. This is to save the noise of the PC being on the whole time as well, and which means I can still run a reasonbly tight firewall on the PC.

Now I've seen quite a few different wireless ADSL routers for sale in SA, but any recommendation as to which one would be the best? (the 11Mbps would be fine for my use anyway)

Alternatively, if the wireless thing is going to be too expensive, if I get a normal ethernet modem for ADSL then all I need to do it just point the consoles to it's IP addy (along with DNS etc).

Basically what I need is the console to have full inbound/outbound rights (nothing to hack there anyway) while keeping my PC secure.
