    I'm very happy with my Linksys (Cisco) WRT54G - it has given me years of service and never misses a beat.

    I use a Draytek 2820
    Not cheap, but a really well made router

    I use a 2-3 yr old Zyxel 660Ht-T1, it only supports 802.11b/g but it's a sh*t load more reliable and stable than the homehub thing that I got from BT! :)

    Well, like many others on here, I have tried a few routers, my favourite is also the cheapest of them all, it is a Philips that was £13.99 delivered.

    100% stable.

    I tried a Netgear, didn't like the fact that it didn't have an on/off switch on it, so sent it back.

    Yes, I like an on/off switch too -- doesn't bother some i know, but i always prefer on most/all items/ NAS devices too :cool: //////

    Netgear all the way. Been using wireless routers for about 10 years now and always went with Netgear. Tried a Belkin once but ended up taking it back as it was rubbish (needed resetting too often, rubbish wireless signal, etc). Got a new Netgear instead.

    So far I've had:-

    Prosafe FM114P
    WGR614
    DG834G
    WPN824
    WNDR3700

    Parents have Belkin and I'm not too keen on the interface and the lack of certain options.
