Looking for a new router

I need help finding a new router, I'm with blueyonder. Ive got one at the moment but its a cheap one off eBay :D And you have to pull the plug everyday because the net stops working otherwise... :confused: I want one that's easy to set up, so that we play network games over it. I just cant get networking to work with this router! Any advice on good cheap ish (£30) wired routers?

Thanks in advance

    I have a wireless Linksys router for my NTL connection with four wired ports and in addition I use a switch for the 2 pcs downstairs. Four machines regularly use the wired connections and occasionally i use wireless with a laptop in the garden

    It's blue it routes and I reset it very occasionally

    How many people are going to be connecting by wire?

    If it's 4 or less, I'd get the one from ebuyer above.
    (edit: this will give you wireless access in the future if you need it)

    If it's more than that, £30 might be a little cheap.

    The ebuyer router above in post #2 is not suitable, as it is for an ADSL connection!

    I'm with blueyonder too, I called them and said I was planning to leave as sky could offer me higher speeds for cheaper and a free wireless router, not that I had any intention of changing to sky, but a friend who worked at blue yonder said I should try this to save shelling out for a new router as mine had given up. They dropped the price to half and sent me a free wireless router. I use it wired to my desktop though as the modem is right next to my computer. Works exactly the same as a wired one. And you can turn the wireless bit off in the router page.

    Might be worth a try.
