I was hoping for a recommendation for a cheap ADSL2+ wireless modem
router, preferably wireless-N. Mine is back with NetComm for warranty repair and would like a cheap one for limited use to tide me over until its return. Thanks in advance for any help.

    you don't want to over-capitalise here. cheapest is best.
    why wireless N? wireless G is faster than ADSL, so unless you are transferring big files over wireless, G will do the job OK.

      Hi Battler,
      Many thanks for taking the time to reply and your detailed information, I am very appreciative. Agree that I don't want to over-capitalise and thanks for the detail regarding wireless N & G. Not transferring large files so will go for the cheaper G option.
      Thank you again ….. Cheers

        Wireless N has a farther reach than Wireless G. It's one reason to go N over G. But if you live in a small unit and your router is in the middle of the house, then G is ok.

        edit: just realized it's a temporary router… in that case just buy whatever is the cheapest.

    Thanks again Battler, picked up a 'cheapie' on eBay and in the process of installing.
    Cheers …..
