Can anyone recommend a decent wireless modem/router for my TalkTalk broadband connection
My main issue is current Huawie modem router is dying + the strength of wireless signal isn't great
I only get around three out of five bars upstairs in our house with router located on ground floor and struggle to get solid connection on laptops ipad when using upstairs
I'm not keen on purchasing a wireless signal extender or using socket plug in thingys to extend my wireless network since want to keep things clean n simple with just one wireless unit
Any ideas on wireless modem router pref under £80?
The Netgear N3300 is currently on my list of best buys but any other recommendations from people who have a specific router and its performance is appreciated

The good thing about Amazon is if you're disappoined they accept returns without a quibble.

I've got this one together with the corresponding wifi dongles for 3 pcs plus a laptop, 3 smartphones and PS3 all working fine with Talktalk.
