My Cable Modem router keeps dying on me, its about time I bought a decent wireless one. Trouble is I have NO idea which are good?. I'm on NTL cable (if that makes any difference), and would like to have 4 port router with wireless. (incase I get a laptop soon!).

netgear do a good one

RP614 - http://www.netgear.co.uk/html/prod_routers_bband_rp614.htm

or Linksys - http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=34&scid=29&prid=561

these are the wired only models, they have wireless ones too, just look through the sites...

i prefer netgear, had mine for the last 2 years :)

I have the Buffalo 54mbps Wireless Broadband Router. Excellent device, 4 port 10/100 switch, WAN port to cable modem, 54g wireless, Router/Firewall, etc...

Works very well!

I just got a cheapy 1-port one from Ebuyer [Ebuyer Wireless 1 Port Ethernet/USB ADSL Modem Router (802.11b Wi-Fi)] and it does everything I need and hasn't died for weeks. I think they do a four port as well if you're looking for the economy option.

dlink di604 tbh

easy to setup does all you expect plus firewall and dhcp

use it with my setup at home with NTL and I have never had a problem with it :)

i've been using the Linksys BEFSX41 router for a couple of years here and it's been fine with everything i've thrown at it :)


the only problem i had was with msn voice comms, and a firmware update (to one that wasn't 18 months old;)) solved that:)
