MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
mine seems to have given up the ghost, online now through antiquated adsl modem and 30ft of telephone wire, not really the best use of a laptops portability!
so what do i replace my netgear router with?
i've never had a problem with my linksys wireless adsl wag200g
my dlink used to randomly hang then died one day
another netgear.
netgear again
netgear thirded
My netgear has been fine. Wish I could say the same for my belkin adaptor!
Linksys WRT54G for 'G' and 10/100. 'L' (WRT54GL) version flashed with 3rd party firmware for loads of extra options and great stability.
D-Link DIR655 for 'N' and 10/100/1000.
This is still for sale - hope it's of interest:

I have been through loads of Netgear ones, kind of given up on them. Currnelty using a Belkin 802.11 N job and that seems okay thus far - needs the odd reboot every now and then, but it hasn't stopped working altogether yet!!!
Actually, currenlty on a 3 wireless dongle on the laptop since TalkTalk are going to take 6 weeks to reconnect us to the interweb post move 🙁
Xyzel Prestige here.
Works over three floors of our house quite well.
Linksys WRT54G flashed with DD-WRT here. (dont buy a 2 meg one though!)
Netgear DG834G (if the still do it) - installed quite a few and they are cheap, easy to install, and reliable. Simple.
My belkin is pretty poor - drops frequently
i've got a netgear dg834g sitting unused in the cupboard at home, make me an offer 🙂
the new BT one I put in 2 weeks ago is pretty good, seems to have a huge range on it. In fact, the hub internet phone with it works as far away as the local pub beer garden.....
I've got a tenda N type one from ebuyer - it's been faultless and is cheap too - worth a look at least.
I also have the USB adaptor on one on my computers and that's been similarly fautless.
Have a Netgear that came with PO broadband has worked faultlessly, doesn't reach the far end of the garden, but the house wall is about 5 foot of stone
does the extra money really buy you much more?
I've got a Belkin and it seems to work pretty well. Good coverage and speed.
The Netgear I got with Virgin just didn't have the punch to get through the walls in my house. Just my experience though. There was a pcpro lab recently looking at them all. Think the Linksys came out on top with the Belkin afterwards.
Cant you just change providers and get a new one for free?
