I'm looking for an ADSL Wireless Modem, and I've been considering the Billion 7300G. It's got all the features I'm looking for at a good price. All the reviews I've read say that this is a great modem and runs faster than many others. The only concern seems to be the wireless side of it, as it seems to drop the connection quite regularly. Has anyone bought one of these and can tell me how good the wireless connection is? Alternatively, has anyone got any suggestions for a good alternative?

    ive installed loads of routers. and the netgear is by far the best to install and works ok. range is pretty good too.

    belkin are rubbish and linksys are a pita to set up.

    I don't really need anything special, it's just that this one has WPA2 encryption which I've heard is the strongest, but I expect WPA is good enough for me. I don't want to use WEP, I've heard that it's easy to crack.
