A good wireless router for cable (ntl/virgin media)

[ghostwalker]

Is anyone able to help? My cable (with ntl/virgin media) is shortly going to be hooked up and I need to buy a wireless router so that the two computers in my house can access the web. I've searched around a bit but I can't really find much about good wireless cable routers. Can anyone offer any suggestions.

Thanks.

Here are some router charts for you to look at:

It really depends on what you need your network to do. If you just need to have internet in both locations, go with a basic wireless G; Linksys or Netgear.
If you need to share files between your pcs you may want to go up to the new wireless N ( potentially 2x the speed). The distance from your wireless pc and the router is a speed factor, and so is the construction of your house. The longer the distance, the less speed. I've seen a big difference in houses with steel framing not working as well as houses with wood framing, too.
I just upgraded my wired router for a Netgear simply because it was $20 on sale at Staples. Linksys has more add-ons, like boosted gain antennae.
Hope that helps
Good luck

Thanks for the comments guys.

I decided to go for the Netgear Rangemax WPN824. No problems so far and my computer seems to connect to it at a good speed.

I'm in the same situation, looking for a Virgin Media Wireless router...

Googled it and found these...

2 different Netgear routers branded as:
"Virgin Media Wireless Broadband Router" - a WGR614 & WGT624

Can anyone suggest which one I should go for? Besides the price difference they look simular in spec...
