Hi guys,

I'm looking for a new wireless router as my current one is playing up and I can't be arsed with it.

It needs to be a wireless, and needs to be of a decent speed.

Not looking to spend too much (current one cost me £100 and is shit)

Any input appreciated.

even though i dont really like them. belkin seems ok. had my parents old one and that lasted a while before it died in a storm!!!

got another and it seems pretty decent. easy to use, reliable and fast enough. wreless range is fine too and cost me about £50

Comparison charts...

The 1000Mbps - 4-port switch sold it for me.

Whats your current 1 Idrees ?

Don't touch Belkin with a barge pole I've had 1 that eventually was replaced but same probs customer service is crap and router is worse... Netgear without a doubt for home use I have had the netgear dg834N for 2 years now and not missed a beat all my family now use them brilliant. D-link are good too.

Pain in the ass, only works when it wants to.

Its decided to work again now so lets just hope it remains this way!! If not, I think I'll go for the Netgear in the link above. Rep added guys, thanks for your input.

Had that version, very reliable but needed something to stream movies and large stuff wirelessy.

So far i had 3 54mbps routers, 1 108mbps and now im on my N router. Netgear all the way :rockon:

My cuz had belkin version similer to that and he kept disconnecting from it. the laptop overheated (god knows why). :p

Yeh i think it should cope fine with that, only problem i had with it when you do simutanus stuff from it at the same time. It just freezes or crashes totaly :(

cable only gave a dinky little modem so i had 2 splash out for a router my self.
