ok atm i have 2 pc's (one cable the other wireless (54mbps) and 2 laptops (one with both but useing cable, and the other wireless (11mbps))
I currently have a D-link DSL 300G+ modem plugged into a D-link DI-614+ wireless (11mbps) 4 port broadband router.
A few weeks ago the router went mental and was disconnecting my network connection every 10 secs. The 4 lights for the switch come on and the other lights flicker as if it was resetting it self. It does this constantly. It doesnt issue ip addresses and so i cant get to the config page.
The modem is working fine however.
This is annoying my parents as the are in the process of retireing and selling the family business which requires lots of online banking stuff... and there laptop doesnt have a net connection. So. We need this fixed quickly. So we ether call D-Link tech suport in india and they will say "send it back" like last time we called them which was a pain in the ass. or. we take advantage of some offers that are on atm.
A 3com... (seems quite good but i know nothing about 3com stuff)

3Com is cheeper which is why i'm wondering is it actualy as good? I know there other big stuff is good but what about the broadband routers and such? I have my eyes on these 2 particulary because and my parents will get a 54mbps card instead of 11 and my other wireless pc's will be useing 54 instead of 11, plus I wont have 2 boxes sat on my desk.
What are your opinions? i'm edging towards the 3Com. the reviews are good. there are lots of them. and its cheeper.
