Netgear N300. The Readyshare feature is great.

I am shocked that there is no unsecured routers around here apart from Bt flipping fon.

The one my ISP gave me, which is perfectly adequate. I usually have the wireless option disabled, and only enable it occasionally for my kindle. Certainly not worth actually buying a router for.

I use an Asus N56 cable router.

Expensive compared to some (about £80), but good wireless signal and more than capable of dealing with the highest speeds our cable can give us at the moment

Prior to that it was a Dlink DIR 615 which was passable but tended to lose connection to the modem about once a week at random.

i never seemed to have much luck with Belkin routers or their network cards for that matter. I also know of a few people who have had Belkin routers and have had problems with them.

But then I also know people who have Belkin routers and they been fine, but that seems to be minimal.

the worse one was a mate who could not update his windows when his computers was connected it, but as soon as we put a old netgear in place, it went fine. i tried all ways to get it working, but nope and it also knocked out mobile phone signals. as soon as i entered his house my mobile phone signal would reduce to almost nothing, again got rid of the belkin and all was fine.

but a mate of mine used to swear by them until he got a Asus and realised the Asus is far better.

I was offered a Belkin by my ISP, ok I had to pay for it, but I thought no way, I will get my own,

Our ISP-provided one. It's a Netopia but I'm unsure of the model number.

I have a ZyXEL P660 wireless router, and we use the wireless function a lot. It does what it says on the tin.

Having said that, a router with USB slots for sharing printers and storage is a great idea, and if I bought a router now I'd get one of those.
