Default Anyone Recommend an ADSL Router

I need a new ADSL router to replace my overheating Netgear DG814, can anyone recommend a replacement? wireless preferabley as they are pretty much the price as the wired ones.

Needs to have a built in modem and not made by Netgear as two have failed on me......

I've got a LinkSys WAG54G as well.

Has been excellent since LinkSys upgraded the factory firmware. Excellent spec for the price (ADSL modem, router, 4 x 10/100, 54G Wireless and VPN tunnel termination).

Chris.

I got one of these(not wireless I know) and cannot fault it, easy to set up, worked straight away with a small network with Xbox Live and 2 pcs, in fact it has been on for 60 days without a single glitch or need to reset/unplug and it gives a slight improvement on D/L speeds over the old Alacatel frog

i've got a draytek at the moment and to be honest of i had to get another router it wouldn't be a draytek. wireless strength doesn't appear to be very good.

i would probably go for a dlink.

I also have one of these and it took a full day to setup For some reason it wont work when I turn my PC on (Win XP), so I have to turn it off then back on every morning to get it to work.

On first setup I didnt realise this, so spent hours trying to get it working. Also doesnt work with external VPN's for some reason.
