Any recommendations for a dsl router

Need to have a usb dsl WAN input (or can I use a converter to RJ45?) and 3
or 4 LAN ports. Any pointers?

Draytek do one.

Any use?

This is just what I wanted but price is too high. I now think I've
discovered a solution using my existing kit - that you do not need to keep
the usb modem supplied by Bt - just plug a dsl router to it like the linksys
BEFSR41 - I think.

You don't need to use the BT supplied USB modem but your replacement
ethernet router must include a built in ADSL modem which the BEFSR41 doesn't
include.

If the USB modem includes an ethernet port I have founf the Origo 4
port router (www.stak.com) for £27.03 faultless. Tiny little blue unit
about half the size of the NTL supplied cable modem.

They also do some modem equiped routers for around £40-£50

Thanks for your help - it seems it was a bit more complicated than I
thought. Plenty of leads to look up on kit too.
