This afternoon we went into Inverness to have a look at what was
available and all I could see in the big chains were wireless routers.
However on asking in Maplins, (where I've one gets better answers than
in PC World, they did have a Netgear non-wirless router, I've used a
Netgear router for several years now without it being any trouble so
that may be what we get.

On the other hand, if you get a wireless/wired router you can always
fully secure the wireless bit and just not use it. My ISP (Force9)
recently donated me a BT '2wire' modem/router (after some peculiar
problems with my line) and it works a treat.
I've found that all these routers work seamlessly, regardless of the
operating system(s) on the PCs. After all they're just talking across an
ethernet i/f. If you're getting in a new line anyway, why not see what
free router your new ISP offers (most seem to be offering free wireless
routers like the BT one I've got) and if it'll work for you? Could save
some money that way.
Cheers,
