Sweex? no problems with my LB000021 = Edimak BR-6104k here.. - though these are wired, not wireless.

Unlike:

Gigabyte GN-BR401 - 2 friends had them, both failed outside warranty.
Benq ESG-103 - notoriously incompatible with PACE STB (a friend has one, works fine with with SACM or Samsung)
The cheapest Ebuyer (Safecom) model also had a pretty bad reputation for killing connection speed.

Only wireless one I've seen in use so far, is a friend's USR8022 - sorted that one out for them specially, as they really needed a wireless link but had thoughts of going back to dialup (before the price gap between broadband and non-payg dialup of any quality collapsed) - miserable range, struggles to maintain a connection upstairs (though I gather that can be a weakness of WiFi - goes more out than up).
