Many Thanks for the opportunity to quote, please do not hesitate to contact me for additional prices and information,
I have supplied plenty of the Netgear ones - they are a good price and do work well, for a cheapo option this is probably best - I can get these at £65.70 each, and deliver for tomorrow ! ?
OR
DG834G in stock available for £90.51

D-LINK £52.57
The DSL-504T is an ADSL Router designed for the small office and home. This router lets you quickly and easily connect to high speed broadband Internet and share your ADSL line. With a built-in ADSL interface, 4 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet switch ports and advanced router functions, this device gives your business and home a convenient and cost-effective way to install a secure, fast network with bottleneck-free link to the outside world. With this router, you can easily connect to your ADSL broadband line for Internet access in your office or at home. This device automatically creates an IP number and assigns for each user, simplifying everyone's logon operation. A standard-based ADSL modem built into this router makes connection to the Internet a breeze. The router also incorporates four 10/100Mbps Ethernet switch ports, providing ready connection for workstations and servers, while saving you the cost and trouble of installing a separate Ethernet switch. The router provides NAT protection for your office and home users from any Internet intruders and hackers, plus VPN pass-through for extra security. It also blocks and redirects certain ports to limit the services that outside users can access your network. Virtual server mapping is used to re-task services to multiple servers. This router can be set to allow separate FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game severs to share the same Internet-visible IP address while still protecting your servers and workstations from hackers. The router supports constricted DMZ to redirect unknown packets to a dedicated server/PC behind the router, enabling a client (such as a Web server) to fully expose it to the Internet and ensure complete Internet application compatibility. This allows you to set up web sites and e-commerce business from your office while maintaining protection for the rest of your office LAN.

with the wireless router - its also got 4 ethernet ports on the back - best thing to do would be to connect one into your pc using rj45 cable, as long as router/ phone line & pc are near each other - and then buy a netgear pcmcia wireless adapter for the laptop so u can use that anywhere in the house

if its only temp mate, then get a 5 quid nic for the pc, and crossover cable (fiver) and your sorted. wireless is alright mate, but its abit of a waste if your laptop isnt going far.
but yea, netgear stuff is pretty sturdy, got a wireless setup here (routers in the atic) and got 2 pcs running off our cable modem, works wonders just make sure u wack WAP on it, otherwise some pikey with a wireless card will get themselves free internet
