Hi,

I've read the sticky post above regarding router recommendations and just wondered if anyone had an up to date view?

I currently have a Netgear WGT624 and WGT311 wireless NIC - not sure if it's the NIC or the router but I get dropped internet connections all the time - have tried tech support numerous times but nothing seems to fix it.

For example, the router (and modem) crash if I try to access the weather section on the BBC news website! I can also pretty much guarantee it will drop the net connection when I try to upload pictures to www.photobox.co.uk

It's bloody frustrating as I need to tramp downstairs to reboot the router!

So, I'm in the market for a new router - it doesn't need to have fancy features, I'm only operating a three pc network - want to share internet and perhaps some lan gaming - not too worried about getting 108mps, would trade for reliability - but range needs to be good. I live in a old building so walls are pretty thick.

Any recommendations?

Cheers
