You'll see the model I suggested in my previous posts. I have no experience of Netgear routers, but I've not heard any especially adverse comments. It seems that each brand has those who get on OK wiith then and those who have difficulty.
Used a couple of Netgear DSL routers (DG834GT and a DG834 Sky)
Both seemed to work ok although I did manage to make the DG834GT go very slow and need a reboot when i bombarded it with a lot of traffic.

My dad has a Netgear Rangemax router (sorry don't know the model) on his VM connection as far as i know he's fairly happy with it.

I've used an older linksys 802.11b router before that was quite good.

I have a friend who has a basic cheapo linksys ADSL router and had to have it replaced due to a fault and it looks like it might be playing up again.

I've also used a d-link Adsl router and had problems.

Of course that probably has no relivence since we're looking at cable routers here and its not so much one company vs another since performance/quality varies between models.
