The Verdict
The Safecom SAMR 4112 works as a modem and a router, so you the phone line goes straight to it and then to the pcs. The SAMR 4112 has two links. One is an USB cable, another is an ethernet cable. So you can plug the USB into the USB port in your pc, and the other into the network card in your PC (If you don't think you've got one they're also called Network Interface Cards and can be bought cheaply from all pc shops) or even plug it into a games console for online gaming, wich is great. After you install the modem on your pc you can get online with one PC/games console without turning the other on, so it's great. You'll need a filter/microfilter too. You'll plug the filter into the phone line, then you'll connect a phone line and the modem router to the filter and then the pcs to the modem router. It's also quite simle to install. This is a great valued router where you shouldn't have to pay more than ?30 (type in SAMR 4112 on google and it'll be one of the first to come up). It'll work on any broadband connection including virgin and will definintely get your PS2/Xbox online. Great stuff!
