Free TalkTalk Router
If you order the Essentials package, you’re supplied with an 802.11g wireless broadband router. If you go for the more expensive Pro package, you get a free 802.11n wireless broadband router. The "n" router offers faster wi-fi speeds and improved range.
The TalkTalk site is not explicit about while model of router is provided. When one of our team opted for TalkTalk, he was provided with a free D-Link DSL-2640R 802.11g router, pictured below. No guarantee you’ll get the same:
