i need a wireless adsl router

[arc]

Currently have an o2 branded Thomson router, going onto a new isp now tho. With o2 there is no user name or password used, with my new isp there is.

Apparently its a pain to flash these routers to their proper firmware, so that leaves me stuck.

Estimated speed on my line is 20mb so need a good one, don't need N or gigabit really but if its little impact on cost then Il take it.

Any suggestions?

Get a netgear one off of fleabay. Thats what I done. £18 iirc

Over the years I've tried dozens of these things from all manufacturers (up to and including Cisco modular routers) and I can say for home use, get a netgear. Belkins are questionable in reliability terms. Anything from thompson tends to be oem equipment and built to an absolute minimum spec. Linksys is ok but I know a lot of people with horror stories about them dying. The netgears are cheapish, have a very intuitive menu system and don't tend to fail as often as other brands.

I usually use a guy on ebay - "Planet78"

Partly because the stuff isn't too expensive and is decent stuff (think it's mostly end of line stuff), and mostly because he's only just up the road, so save on p&p lol (Oh, and the 99.5% feedback helps lol)
