Best Router...?


I REALLY want to network my boxes and share my adsl connection between them all. I heard good things about the LinkSys 4-port Adsl/cable router and i was wonder if it is worth it? Or are all the router like this one basically the same? Im on a tight budget so the cheaper the better
Thanks

It would be cheeper to use on of the computers as a router, that way all you need is a second nic if you don't already have a box with two nics.

linksys

Linksys is the best router after a linux box. And i've tried most routers out there :-). I think linksys 4-port router is the cheapest you can buy. I think it $70 now (you are lucky) because i bought mine for $89. And you can get a good deal at www.egghead.com.
