Hiya.

Right, it's that time, I'm fed up of sitting in the conservatory, my brother in the living room on his laptop and the internet constantly disconnecting when in skype calls.

My wireless speed is 20mb/s virgin and works fine when plugged in straight from the modem.

I'd prefer something like

Opinions?

Any ideas?

Cheap and cheerful is always good, but I don't want something to break easily.. lol.

I'd prefer netgear .. N would be good.

Large range pretty please

Yes, look for a Netgear or Linksys branded router. They're generally the best.

I had a linksys before, like, as my first wi fi router and I had to take all 3 different models back because they didn't "like" my area. I found the tech support a bit tacky too, so I bought a philips in the end and it's done well for idk, the past 5 years I've had it? possibly more?
