Who's wireless router is better?

My belkin router is dropping wireless connections regularly. i think I'm on the third one now, they seem to work fine for 18/24 months then give up.
I'm thinking of renegotiating with Orange (current BB provider) or taking up BT broadband for a free wireless router.
Who's is the better router?

I'm in the sticks and can only get BT wholesale product at around 1.5mb so have pretty basic BB needs.

    I take it you've made sure there's not interference from any electrical equipment and moved the aerial(s) and changed the wireless channel lots of times to make sure that neighbouring networks aren't interfering? If you're on channel 10 and your neighbour is on channel 12 it will still interfere, you need to be 3 channels away I think...
