The old Netgear router (possibly a DGN3500) I installed yonks ago in my parents' flat looks like it's on its way out as it keeps dropping the line so I need a suitable replacement. The wireless side doesn't matter as there are just too many other WLANs nearby and I've used homeplugs to link my mum's lappie to the router. So what we need is rock-solid ADSL2+ performance so my 91 y/o mum doesn't have to crawl under the desk to reset the thing.....

What's good in the cheap end of things these days?
 
I have just got one of these

http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/d...Archer-D9.html

Got one due to the chipset in it as its good for long lines as I'm on ADSL2+ the first one I had packed in working on wireless after 6 hours, so I returned it, got another one now and it seems good I have to say it is very stable on my line 3.5 meg was easy to set up and port forward ect I was using a N55U which was unstable on my long line.

The wireless on the TP-Link is the same as the N55U I live in a three tier house and get full wireless signal on the top floor.

Hope that helps if you have any questions send me a message.

Thanks for the suggestion but that's way over the top for their requirements.
Having had a look at the current TP Link range, the Archer D20 is still more than they need but a more appropriate price. So I think that's what I'll go for unless anyone has any horror stories about it or better ideas around that price range.
