I quite like Netgear's stuff (used to use http://www.amazon.co.uk/Netgear-WG111-Wireless-54Mbps-Adapter/dp/B0002LHX8O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1217511767&sr=1-1). Although have to say at the moment at home I use one of these (Hawking technologies) http://www1.shopping.com/xPO-Hawking-Hi-Gain-USB-Wireless-G-Dish-Ad
Got it quite cheap at QVC returns store. I have a Netgear PCI card (wireless N,http://www.amazon.co.uk/Netgear-WN311B-Rangemax-Adapter-Desktop/dp/B000GYHRTC) and the Hawking dish is actually much better for wireless range because it's directional despite the card having multiple aerials for MIMO. Very pleasantly surprised by the Hawking's performance. So it's my default enabled wireless device at the moment.

I'd recommend Netgear too - that happens to be who produces the Sky wireless routers so you should get a good performance from that respect

The manufacturer does not make any difference as they all work to the internationally agreed 802.11 standard.

If it did make any difference you could be stuffed as Sky supply Sagem routers as well as Netgear!

Indeed, I have used several different makes, they all work just fine.
