http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=94178
New router time and want to get an ADSL2+ one. The one above looks good. Anyone know different or think there is a better one around thats not more expensive than the above one?

Personally, wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
We trialed the WAG54G (all-in-one ADSL gateway with wireless) and that was utterly tosh. It might be better than the WAG54G but once bitten, twice shy on Linksys kit!

I decided against that one too and finally went for this: http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop...ProductID=2214
Its been rock solid from the moment I switched it on
Supports ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+, wireless rates of up to 125 Mbps too. Well pleased with it.

Thanks guys
Dunk that one is a little expensive for me unfortunately. Is there another good one around the £50 mark? It doesn't even need to be wireless as I currently use an access wireless point plugged into my current non wireless router.
Also want one that displays the line stats such as line attenuation and SNR margin so I can keep an eye on my connections issues that I have been having.

Without the PC card its £52 for the same router from BBB.
It gives me a fair amount of info on the line condition (not sure if this is what you're after):
noise margin downstream: 19 db
output power upstream: 11 db
attenuation downstream: 42 db

LOL mine is 56db on a 2mb line so 42db isn't bad. Also BT engineer confirmed the adsl modems kick out far less noise on the line than routers. Thats why I am going for one of these ADSL2+ routers as they are designed to kick out less noise for the higher bandwidth connections. Well in theory anyway!
