Modem/Router

in I wanna buy it or do it
My current modem needs replacing and I was wondering whether anyone could suggest a good value for money one, with good specifications? Like most people I don't have much spare cash at the moment, but on the other hand don't want to get one that is going to break down in a few months. The IT Dept where I work recommended a Netgear DG834GUK but at nearly £50 this is a bit too much for my budget.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Netgear are good, but some BB providers offer them FOC with contracts. Who are you with? I think BT were doing a deal with their new black wireless router, free with 12month subscription or £25 otherwise? May be better answered in the 'Techie' forum too?
