Cable Forum - View Single Post - General Routers for modem mode on a budget

I was going to intervene earlier on in the week but as soon as I saw everyone flapping about TP Link and Belkin I decided to stay out of it.

If I was going to spend £50 on a router which the op has intimated then I would buy this one. If I was looking to buy a new router I would realistically expect to pay ~£80 for something decent and would buy this one and if I was starting out from scratch with a new pc and wanted top of the range bees knees then I would have this

Tbh, my pc was new last year along with a lovely new 3D and some other bits and as I extended the wired network around the house I did buy two new routers but for wired and not wireless. As we replace our mobile phones between now and xmas and maybe get other wireless devices I am going to seriously be looking at the last router I just linked to because it looks kick ass.

I am going to forgo my Linksys speech because it is teatime and I am starving and summarise it all by saying you pay for what you get. I have always had Linksys routers and not had a single problem with any of them and I shall continue to keep buying them. It is all about brand loyalty and a manufacturer that cares about what they make and is passionate about the service they provide.
