text: which is the best router to buy/use  for a bt basic broadband package ( option 1 )?   i have been using a linksys network everywhere nr041wm. this is a $40 wired router. i see in your question you are on bt. that is british telco? that would be adsl service, correct? i am not totally familiar with that but the router i recommend accommodated both pppoe and dhcp. it is also expandable via an add on hub or switch. i have a 3com super stacker ii 24 port hub added to increase the number of ethernet ports from 4 ports on board to 3 on board the router and 23 port usable on the hub, for a total of 26 usable port to my lan. these are available used for about $20.
