Wireless Router

My gun ho "lets upgrade the firmware" seems to have done my router more harm than good.

After 4 years and now low or non existant signal in the next room leads me to think that I need a new one.

I run virgin broadband so wondered if there was anything I need to consider in terms of buying a new router. Recommendations also grateful.

    Why, which router and have you run inSSIDer to see if the router is overlapping with a neighbours?
