Best possible route

m5rcc

Well, I have finally moved onto Fibre Broadband after calculating that the cost-benefit is in my favour and there's no point sticking with o2, who have zero budget to introduce Fibre, despite what they personally say.

Been given a poxy Netgear WNR1000 which is a cable router as opposed to an ADSL one, and as a result, I cannot use my existing Belkin N+ router modem. I wish to have the fastest possible wireless speed obtainable. Range required is no more than twenty or so metres.

Can you advise which is better upgrade? The Belkin Double N+, although discontinued, seems fine and it would enable me to abuse the un-quota'd usage between 12AM-8AM as it has a a BitTorrent client that can download five torrents at once and save them to an attached USB pen drive. I would like to have a router that has such feature.

There is the Netgear WNDR4000 N750 but it would appear the N600 is as fast and noticeably cheaper.

Also open to other brands.

Any recommendations?

To your dilemma, I'd have a look round some of the ISP user forums for some ideas, like this for example..it may help inform your choice
