Time for a new one, may as well make it wireless-n or ac.

Anyone got any recommendations? It'll be mostly t'internet (hence ADSL requirement), streaming music around (not movies yet...) and sharing NAS data. Obviously Mrs Breathe would like a nice looking router ๐Ÿ™„

Have a look at:

Seems to be widely regarded as just about the best router for getting the most out of your ADSL line.
For example, according to BT I can expect, at most 4-5Mb on my line, with fiddling I was able to get 7Mb with my old Draytek router, after getting the non WiFi version of the above router I am now on a rock solid 10Mb.
While speaking to a BT engineer about an unrelated problem I mentioned this and he was astonished that I was getting anywhere close to that on my line.

Oh and incase it's an option for you, it will also act as the router if you upgrade to Fibre.
Just a shame it looks like a albino housebrick!! ๐Ÿ™‚ Maybe Mrs Breathe can put a nice houseplant on it or something.!!

H1ghland3r what exactly did you do with your router to achieve that. I have the same and have been pleased with it.
