I just installed a Netgear DG834GT in my house this evening, seems pretty good so far. Cost me about £70 plus vat from www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk .

Before that I had a US Robotics USR9106 which was also pretty good, worked fine for me but I've heard others have had problems with them. Only reason it got upgraded was I fancied a newer model - though to be honest there's no noticable performance advantage with the new one.

The USR9106 has been given to a mate to use in his house.

Same! Netgear tops for routers. Been using this for nearly a year, with no problems whatsoever.

I use a Buffalotech WMR-G54.

I used to have a Belkin which overheated all the time so took that back. I then had a Linksys (forget the model name) which had similar problems. Linksys exchanged it (it turned out it was a common problem with the v1 hardware of this model, which was fixed when they went to v2 hardware), but I'd already bought the Buffalotech as a replacement as I couldn't do without it.

The Buffalotech is very reliable - much more solid engineering than the Belkin or Linksys.

Thumbs up

As above - NetGear DG834G - earlier version (54 Mbps) - no hassle, easy install, useful help facility, web firmware upgrades...
