Young Billingham Poolies have bought themselves a new XBox 360 and now insist that they need a wireless router so they can play on-line while Billingham Poolie and I have access to the internet. Has anyone bought one of these items. If so, which make do you recommend and are they value for money.

electrical goods are never good value for money mate - cant go too wrong with a netgear (look nice too!) but make sure you get the right one for you provider - check your provider out see what they reccommend

do not get the skybox to connect via sky broadband apparently it freezes a lot so no good.
the previous comment about netgear is spot on or a bit dearer but also very good a LINKSYS which works with ntl broadband and is spot on the best i have used

I'd say NetGear, Simple to setup and easy to use

LINKSYS are also good mind you, Theres about £2-£5 difference in price between the 2 either being a good choice

I played the young-uns xbox360 on linksys a few weeks back, you dont have to play it wireless if you dont want to, you need the ethernet cable otherwise, and connect it in the wireless router (linksys etc), you get 1months free if you have the £199 version of the xbox360(sign up).
