[access-uk] Advice re router purchase

When I switched to broadband (ADSL) in June my ISP provided as part of the 
package a 
basic one port router which enabled me to have an ethernet connection to either 
of my 
systems (but only one at a time, of course).  As the router was pre-configured 
I have as yet 
little knowledge of setting up a  router from scratch. 

I now need to purchase another router, both as an insurance against failure of 
the existing 
one, and also to give me more connectivity options.   I would probably 
initially connect to both 
machines by ethernet but I would also like the router to have the capability of 
being plugged 
into the main bT socket in another part of the house and having a wireless 
connection to the 
computers.    

I would be grateful for any advice as to suitable routers, preferably not too 
difficult to set up 
and configure using a screen reader.

Suggestions of particular models would be most helpful. 
               

Thanks in advance,


Douglas
