It depends really....If you have an ADSL Internet connection - Get a ADSL Router. (Not sure if it'll work though - We have one that we brang from the UK but not sure if it works because I don't have ADSL)

There is no reason why a wireless router won't work if you have a broadband input. What won't necessarily work is a combined modem/router. Find one which just takes in an ethernet feed and redistributes this wirelessly.



I use a Belkin but there are many others.

Just make sure it has a LAN input connection (like this one) which they pretty much all do. (click the link)

If needs to be a plain wireless router, (not an ADSL or Cable type) if you have the standard "box on the roof" internet connection



We were told an ADSL router would work - our Belkin didn't as it didn't have a suitable connector, and we ended up buying a regular wireless router in the TRNC

I'm looking for 4G wireless router, so I connect cameras and can watch the pictures in Europe.

Can anybody help me and tell where available?

You could always support the local economy and purchase one in Northern Cyprus. The correct type 'are' available here.



Watch out on some of the advice given in this thread.



250TL buys a good wireless router, installed at your home, configured for you and guaranteed.

It always sounds wonderful to live in hope of using your laptop outside and in theory it can be done. In practice though unless you have a "hood" then you won't be able to see the screen as the sun is much too bright.

We have many customer's who buy routers from the UK to use over here with their internet connections.....it works perfectly! Just make sure you purchase one that is a wireless broadband router.
