    ADSL router recommendations?

    Looking for a reliable wireless router (for ADSL). Must have draft N and at least 1, preferably 4, gigabit ethernet ports.

    Any recommendations?

    I have the Draytek Vigor 2820n - 1 gigabit port, Draft n wifi.. Works a treat with Bethere broadband. Another one is Billion 7402NX - 4 gigabit ports, Draft n.

    neither are cheap.

      I've always had good experiences with solwise's own branded kit:

        a vote here for Draytek, excellent reliability my father-in-law has my old one that has been going for 5 years now, I upgraded to the 2820n,pricey, but worth it (like myself may I add)

          I've tried Netgear, Belkin and Linksys.

          The Netgear is by far the easiest to configure and monitor, routerstats works straight off with no configuration changes with most netgear routers.

          The Belkin was almost as good but the interface let it down with too many reboots required for config changes.

          The Linksys was rubbish as the interface didn't show much useful info should you have a problem.

          Netgear FTW!

            WTS - brilliant, reliable kit.
            Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

              When are they going to decide on a new classification? Manufacturers have been releasing 'Draft-N' products for donkey’s years.

                Or...... If you are interested in a boxed BT2110 bog standard wireless router with 4 lan ports on the back, I have one lying in the wardrobe unused which you can have for a fairly minor consideration plus postage.

                  Thanks for all the posts.

                  I've heard good things about Draytek before but as noted they are quite expensive.

                  What about this one I found from D-Link: D-Link DIR-655

                    If you're going to spend that much why not spend the extra for the Vigor ?
