What would you recommend for a cable at home?

Looking for 2 or 3 ports. Anything decent... dont want to learn an entirely new operating system just to get online, but willing to dabble a little bit maybe.

Thanks for the info, my Linksys AG241 does everything I need (kind of - I would like to be able to specify which program gets prority rather than just FTP, HTTP etc etc), but this is useful info for the future.

Im assuming you mean you have Cable, if so look on ebay for a 2nd hand watchguard.  The SOHO6 is an old model now, but you can get a little edge x10 for ~£30.

sohos have gui access, as do most cisco gear these days...

I tried one of the SOHO routers (an 857W) and the GUI (SDM Express) though appearing to work, didnt actually allow me to make a connection!
