    I don't rate Belkin at all, and wouldn't have one thrown at me, let alone given to me.

    I use a very reliable Linksys WRT54GS v1.1 router (about 3-4 years old), with Polarcloud's Tomato firmware (link) installed. TBH, it was fine before installing Tomato - but Tomato has turned my £50 router, into one worth much more.

    I got a Sitecom router from Maplin once which was awful. Very unreliable and died completely within weeks. Never again.

    Since then I've had a Linksys one which was fine, and a Netgear which is great.
  • I use Netgear too and have had no trouble with it at all. UI is fine, and simple to use as well. Setting up wireless was a doddle.
