In all honesty not sure on anything here... how should i choose?

Have a 2.2Mb Broadband connection, would probably be about 5 PC's hooked up to it?

Try this. I bought a similar kit from Currys but it came with a free USB adapter only, for about £65 a few months ago.

I think the actual router in that PCW site is the same as mine.
