In need of a router to replace a shoddy HomeHub.

Hey guys,

After returning from University after 4 months away I've noticed a steep decrease in network availability and speed around my house.

At first I thought it was the connection coming in, but I was astounded to see that we're still getting speeds of 13-18Mbps through - so this points towards our HomeHub.

I have a budget of around £65, not looking to spend too much as I really don't have the money for it!

If anyone can make any firm suggestions before Monday, that'll be brilliant.

Thanks,

ADSL or VDSL?

ADSL.

Do you mean the Wireless speeds are slower? If so it may be interference from neighbours on the same frequency. Maybe shift your Wireless to a different channel, rather than buying new kit.
