    Which Wireless (cable) Router would you reccomend to use? I want the cable router to provide a strong signal always and not be slow or drop out the connection. I have already dismissed Belkin due to some users saying its not good but i have been looking at the one below as it says it can "boost" the speed/signal etc. Would you reccomend it?

    BTW my budget is £45. In my laptop I already have a wireless card so i wont need it.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated ;)

    I say either the Linksys WRTG or a Netgear one. Those seem to be the most popular brands.

    But you can never go wrong with DLink, or Buffalo, or Belkin. They will all give you what you want and run it well.

    I've been using a linksys wirreless router for years without any issues at all. As adinu stated, netgear, dlink and buffalo are all popular brands. Find one that has all the features you are looking for and check out the customer reviews at the site where you are purchasing.

    Remeber that your signal strenght will largely depend on the materials of the structure you live in and placement of the router in your home.

    I've got the DLink DIR-655 at home, and it's a great router in my opininon.
