Personally I use a Linksys WRT54GS with a modified firmware, been using for over a year and works great. Mine feeds a 24 port switch, which than feeds my network. I currently run 2 xboxs, 2 laptops and 2 desktops, on average 3 items are connected at once and I have no connection or speed issues, unless some one is uploading. Can be brought for between Ã‚Â£35-Ã‚Â£40.

Either that or my mate use the Netgear WPN824 which is also good. Although he has had some issues where IP address keep changing on his network which is a pain when mapping ports. Other than that it is good and has a very good wireless range. More Expensive than the Linksys, about Ã‚Â£60.
