Linksys is good, the daddy but theres loads of alternatives. Im personally pointing people in the direction of TPlink but the next man will say something else.
that unit you've got has got good reviews, i was actually surprised. Scan are fobbing you off. you need to tell these companies not politely stating your issues or you'll be left with nothing but a receipt reminding you that you've wasted money.
btw maplin love getting a couple more pennys out of you like pc world etc.
that linksys on amazon is 130£
