MY wirless ISP was purchased by MCI and is now in the process of destroying a very good service with weekly outages.

I have decided to drop them and go with DSL (just now available in my area)

What type of router should I get USB or ethernet?

all help would be apreciated
thanks

I use the SMC barricade router. The link sys and SMC are both good routers. I like the SMC because it has a printer port on it.

Go w/ the SMC ethernet card.. and a cheap hub if you want to hook up two computers... The SMC card run you about 49.$
