Recommended Routers?

[Luke]

I'm looking for a decent router, the SkyHub is probably the worst router I've ever owned. Constant dropping on WiFi (never had this problem with the Sagem Sky router) and only 100mbps ports..

Would anyone be able to recommend me a decent router? If it makes any difference I'm on 80/20 FTTC (and I actually get that).

If possible I'd like to be able to plug a USB stick into it

Thanks
Luke

I have a router for a few years and never had any problems with it. It is called WL-520GU (125M High Speed) by Asus. You can also plug a USB as well.

Netgear Belkin Linksys. 802.11ac. Beyond that it does not matter one bit.

I've got the ASUS RT N66U which is great, although it's like a year old now, they probably have more recent versions out.

Depends on your budget though.

I'll take a look, cheers

You're right, but I've only ever used ISP routers, so apart from the obvious big brands I was looking for a bit of help choosing a specific model based on previous experiences..

That one looks good, you had any issues at all?

These days the specific model is mostly irrelevant, they only thing you might want to consider is whether or not it supports dd-wrt etc.

Is custom firmware actually worth it with newer routers though? I used it once a while back to enable ADSL2..?

Nope, only router i've ever had without any issues.
