Hi,
I'm looking for a new router. I currently have a BT Home Hub (please don't laugh - it wasn't my choice) and need a new on that will work with my BT broadband. Even though I don't game that often I'd quite like a really, really good one with at least 3 output ports. Extendable budget of £100.
Thanks,
Matt. I

I don't know if all the router brands are available in the UK, but stick to D-Link, Linksys, or TrendNet if you can.

I would stick w/ D-Link or Linksys. The Trendnet routers are not rated very high- not very dependable.

I read reviews on cnet and went from there. Its not necessarily true that only Dlink and Linksys are the best, my Dlink just took a crap after only a year!
-
I don't recommend Belkin, I'm not happy with mine. I've only heard good things about Linksys and D-Link.

Thanks! I'll have a look around and let you know how I get on. Will all of those makes work with my BT line and contract?

I was wondering along the lines of this Linksys one. Do you know how many ehthernet out ports there would be? I need at least three and the picture makes it unclear... http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30204/187/1/0/
Thanks very much again!

D-link's older stuff (most of their G stuff and before) is rated pretty low. Not sure about their newer gaming / 802.11n stuff.
I'll say Linksys WRT54g/gs/gl or Buffalo. -
Well, I have used a Netgear RangeMax MiMo G+ for about a year, and get five bars anywhere in the house. I never get a dropped connection. I can get up to 108mbps throughput with enhancements. I just can't complain about it at all. I've had a linksys die on me after 3 months.
Right now I'm looking for a router that will connect at N speeds with my intel 4965agn wireless card. The NetGear Next N router has the "Connect with Intel Centrino" label on it, but I've heard of no one testing it at N with the aforementioned wireless card.
I've heard Buffalo's are decent.
Good Router
