Best router around at the moment?

Robbo · 4 Dec 2010 at 14:00

Hi guys, my trusty Netgear DG834GT is on its way out after many, many years of superb service.

I'll need to replace it, so what is the best logical upgrade from a DG834GT out of all the routers around at the moment? I haven't had to buy any network equipment for ages

I do like Netgear though, so I'd like to stay with them if possible!

I'm on an 8MB Zen Broadband connection, so it would need to work with this obviously which I'm sure most of them do.

Cheers

I'm really pleased with my Draytek Vigor kit at the moment. I have the 2710 Router, but would like to try out the 2820 as you get QoS and also can alter some nifty settings through a telnet connection.

But the 2710 has been rock solid for me and has a wealth of options. Nice piece of kit imo.

Why not get another DG834GT if you only have up to 8Mb/s?

yeah I'm a draytek man - use both the 2710 and 2820 regulalrly but its difficult to justify 2/3 tims times the price of another DG834GT (which i also have) unless you want wireless N and even them you can get a netgear with wireless N much cheaper than a 2710.
