New Router help
My old Netgear WGT624v3 is diying, it sometimes needs a reboot to get devices to reconnect.
So I need a new one that that will be able to connect to the new super hub that I will get when our service is upgraded to the 60MB.
I'm not to worried about cost but don't want to pay silly money, and ideally something that is easy to connect without any hastle.
(Not with ADSL, needs to be able to connect to VM cable network) (min 4 RJ-45s)
Ideally from somewhere like PC World, Currys, Comet etc, so I can get one today/tomorrow after work
It needs to be able to connect to the following (not all at the sametime)
3 Laptops
1 Netbook
2 tablets
1 Xbox 360
1 Blu-Ray player
5 smart phones
3 Nintendo DSi XLs

Re: New Router help
I'd say Asus N56/N66 but those stores don't stock the router. Highly recommended though so if your willing to order online and pay express delivery or something then go for it.
If its got to be in store today then go for Linksys. future proof yourself with a simultaneous dual band high end product.
I'd give Asus a try if I was you. The reviews those routers are getting are very good. Linksys seems to have done something to the firmware or some crap on the newer high end product(s).

Re: New Router help
Unfortunately the ASUS only has one RJ-45, and there are some pieces of kit that need to be wired.

Re: New Router help
I thought you meant the RTN56U. Good choice  feedback on how you get on will be much appreciated. I've given up hope with TP-Link
