Is it still Netgear? which routers have people got which hardly ever disconnect?

Mines ok but some days it dc's once or twice in the same day, and then takes 10mins before i can get back on, slightly annoying if your in the middle of something

I've got a Belkin at home, never had a problem with it in just over a year.

I bought a Linksys for work under the instructions of a mate [WAG54GS] and it wouldn't stay connected, kept turning itself off or losing connection. I even got a replacement for it under warranty and that did the same within a month. It always worked again on reboot but that's not what you need to be doing when you're trying to prop finance deals etc.

In the end [I hope!] I got another Belkin for work as well and touch wood, 3 ish months later it's running fine with no issues.

 

Draytek. End of.

 

If i had to plump for one name, it would by linksys.
- BUt netgear are good network gear for what they are, as are belkin. Although the latter tend to be a bit over priced imo.

Yeah, draytek is good gear too.
- Linksys have made a bit deal of being part of Cisco, a name that no one can deny is good enough for a domestic enviroment. But how conected the two brands are other than ownership, who knows!

So far in my experience, the only link between Linksys and Cisco is on paper - Cisco technology and reliability have yet to find their way into anything wearing a Linksys badge, at least on the ones I've used anyway.

 

cisco, realy are fast as they have better proccessor and much better and leaner software

 

Its only for home use, so a 30-40 quid job will do

 

Linksys - cannot fault the thing

 

By the way whats this G, G+ and ADSL 2 mean? ive tried googling to get a list of which symbol is slow and which is faster, as i know the basic one isnt very good for online gaming etc, i think thats the G one?

 

G should still be fine for gaming, but for the difference in price go for the G+

i bought a linksys n point even better then the G+ think it was only £58

802.11b is fine for gaming.... as long as you're not suffering very low signal level.

A good rule of thumb is to get wireless thats at least twice the speed of your internet connection..

 

the £40 to £50 ones are realy shit, spend no less than £100 on one you will not regret it

 

not sure i agree with that; mine was £54 and its been perfect for 3 years

you dont need to spend near that amount at all 40-70 is fine
