It has been said that USB dsl modems, can actually slow down download speeds. I personally would use a router. I got the dg814. It works good but would not recoment it

it is proven that it slows the DL speed , we try not to supply routers with usb as customers get a poorer service.

USB ADSL modems draw a hell of a lot of power through the USB port, so make sure you're using the primary USB port, or else it could cause problems (above and beyond the slow-ness and unreliability of any USB modem).

As other people have suggested, go for a router......or, if you don't want the cost of a router hanging over you, go for the happy medium: a PCI ADSL modem, can pick them up for about £25 these days.
