After the most stable adsl wireless router

Netgear and stable don't belong in the same sentence, for anything remotely taxing they're exceedingly poor.
Some MaxDSL triallists appear to be noticing some interesting issues with them because the SNR wanders and their connection drops out. Great hardware.

The reality is all consumer grade routers seem to have issues of one sort or another - Netgear are no better or worse than any other make in this respect. From my experience and those of others I know the DG834/DG834G (TI AR7 based) is a pretty mature and stable product whereas the DG834GT and the new PN (Broadcom based) are complete rubbish. Other peoples experience may vary and peoples experience do seem to vary from line to line and DSLAM vendor to DSLAM vendor.OllyM said:
To player: Have you thought about running a separate wired router and separate wireless AP - I ran a DG834 and WG602v2 together for some while and it was a very stable setup. Not as neat as a single box, but generally you'll get better stability running a two box solution.
if you are just afer a good stable router but dont want to spend the earth then you could do a lot worse then get a 3com. really happy with mine, replaced a belkin one which contry to popular belief wasnt that bad. just had a habbit of over heating from time to time.
