well, i want to buy a router but i have no idea which one to buy, i will put a list of stuff that the router will be used for:

PS3 connected by ethernet cable
PS2 connected by ethernet cable
Wii & DS connected wireless via the nintendo wifi adapter.
bittorrents

now the reason i mentioned the bittorrents is because i know that routers are a bit tricky (pain in the ass) when it comes to configuring them and opening ports and all that stuff, which modem do you recommend that has the best compatibility with bittorrents and is easy to setup? and will using a router with wireless usb wifi access point have any affect on the router, like any conflictions (reason for mentioning the wii & DS)

i'm looking to spend no more than Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£40-Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£50 for a router for my cable modem any recommendations?

oh and btw, what is this i hear about the mac address or something? when i buy the router will it involve just installing it and plugging it into the computer or will i have to call ntl and wait days for a mac address or something? how do you enter the mac address into a router & is it easy? what router is easier to set up in this situation?
