I don't know about the Netgear, so won't comment on that, but I'd probably go for the Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless-B router over the BEFSR41v3 - as you said before, it's only a few quid more than a BEFSR41 at Amazon etc. [EDIT: And gives you the capability to go wireless at a later date if "B" is all you'd need]
I think the BEFW11S4 is meant to be pretty good. Trying to think of people here who have it, I'm sure Caspar does, not sure who else.
I've had a BEFSR41 (v2) for a couple of years now, it's generally been good, but it has had the odd disconnection problem....which has started to get worse. Hence I'm gonna get a new router soon myself...
I'm planning on "going wireless" (so no more cat5 strewn all over the house!), & I'm probably going to get the Linksys Wireless-G router. It's around £60, but seeing as the BEFSR41 v2 was £100 (!) when I got mine I don't really mind.
