Netgear Rangemax: worth the extra £ÃÆ ’‚£Ãà¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£ ? Quick advice needed!

After a thunderstorm fried all the LAN ports on my ADSL modem/router last week, I am off to PC World to acquire myself a new one this lunchtime (I have a £25 DSG voucher to spend).

Having a quick look at the website, I see the Belkin and Linksys products all at reasonably comparable prices in the £40-£60 range, then this one by Netgear at twice the price:

Now, I have medium-term plans to build a garden office where I can retreat to work, and don't want to run cables out there (except for the mains power), so I need wireless internet with good range. I don't currently get that from my Belkin (whose wireless connectivity, while naff overall, was bizarrely unaffected by the lightning strike).

'Rangemax' sounds exactly what I need. But is it? You have about 90 minutes to offer your opinions ...

GO!
