I realise this is clearly a matter of preference / brand experience, but I've been contemplating upgrading our Netgear DG834Gv1 to a Wireless-N router.
In my experience, Netgear have been a real let-down, I've had quite a few whilst at Uni and all were dreadful, but got a Linksys router later and worked flawlessly from when we bought it in February to when we left in May without being turned off once.
So, as a fairly expected consequence, I'd really like a Linksys ASDL2+ Wireless-N router, like a WAG160N, sold by OcUK
I checked Which? to validate this choice and as I expected, they rated it the best router from their selection, however, after reading the customer reviews, a lot of people are really disappointed with it. A bit confused, I checked (a competitors website) and got the same kind of feedback.
Conversely, the Netgear Wireless-N offering (DGN2000), whilst not apparently as popular, got really good reviews everywhere!
Ideally, I'd have gone with an Apple router, but (rather stupidly) they seem not to include an actual modem capability with their routers, so there's no real justification for buying it.
I realise generally people who leave feedback often leave poor feedback, I was just wondering what you lot use and what you think
