I've had a Linksys WAG54G V1 for sometime now and I'm so fed up with the wireless reliability it's time to chuck it and upgrade.
I use my wireless network for media streaming, so I want the fastest possible speeds with solid performance (no sporadic performance that will cause a video to stutter during playback). With this in mind I set my sights on a 108Mbps Super G router with appropriate client wireless cards.
What would people recommend to meet these requirements:
Netgear DG834GT - I've read bad things about reliability
Linksys WAG54GS - mixed reviews - but will it be more reliable than my WAG54G?!
Draytek Vigor 2800G - can't find any reviews but I hear that Draytek products are usually excellent
Any others I should consider?
Is it best to buy client cards from the same manufacturer to get the better SuperG speeds?
Thanks in advance...

This month's PC Pro (i.e. Feb 2006, p 72!) spoke very highly of the Linksys WAG54GX2. Yes, it would need matching wireless card(s) -- and the combination is not cheap!

Are you happy recommending KCORP, whose website states:
Please note that due to internal issues all KCORP Lifestyle Technical Support Services, including telephone and email support, have officially been terminated as of the 31st of August 2005.

You could also try this http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/652690 . I got one the other month from a pcworld shop and they threw in a free network card too! It's faster than super g and so far so good!0
