Router

Hey,

My o2 supplied router is on its last legs, and quite frankly has always been ****. So, I'm looking for a new router with a very good range and N capable. Obviously it must support ADSL2+ aswell.

Any reccomendations?

Thanks!

Anything by Linksys/Cisco or Netgear.

Not Belkin.

Netgear, Linksys or D-Link.

Personally I'd get one that's compatible with DD-WRT. It's awesome :). Generally you're looking for Linksys if you want best DD-WRT compatibility.

A buddy of mine has a Belkin N-router and curses me daily for having my Linksys BG-router. I know you're looking for a router that's N-capable, but Linksys has to be the way to go.

My netgear router hasn't failed to this date after having it for 3/4 years

Why does nobody like Belkin? Everybody seams to **** it off yet give NO reasons at all. I got a belkin today since it's the only router the store had that priorities gaming. It also comes with a life time garentee (Which no company will offer if they get a lot of product returns).]

I'll keep you updated on if it does the job or not >;D

Well not all Belkin products are bad, my Belkin USB hub has been working wonderful and no issues what so ever got god knows how long know. But more than two years! Although I'm not a huge fan of their routers really, maybe its because of the problems I've had and the problems other people I know have faced with them also. Maybe they have changed over the months but I rather just buy another brand such as NETGEAR. Our router at the moment is a NETGEAR and have had no problems.

My reason: The interface for configuring the router is a royal pain. I spent 20 minutes trying to configure my buddy's UPnP setup, whereas it literally only took a minute tops on my Linksys router.

There's your problem.

Because Belkin are currently where D-Link used to be 5 years ago, a.k.a, in the crapper. We had D-Link products failing left, right and centre, (but now they've sorted their problems out), Belkin aren't fantastic.
