Looking for a Solid ADSL Modem/Router to replace my Home Hub 4

I don't know how I have lasted this long with the Home Hub 4 as its a PITA. I am looking to replace it with a ADSL Modem Router which is actually reliable.

My main uses for the internet in my place is:

Downloading / Streaming TV Shows
Airplaying Shows to Apple TV
Apple AirPrint
VNC - Connecting to Mac at Home from Mobile Phone
General Internet Browsing

Looking for something rock solid, reliable and has fairly good wireless signal.

Not looking to break the bank with this one, just need a reliable workhorse.

What to people recommend?

Thanks

I have the TP-LINK Archer D9 mine is a very long line, and to be honest its been really stable.

I was looking at this, seems to be one of the better ones for the price, will have to compare to the D9 feature wise to see the difference.

I have used a W8980 flashed to a W9980, i found the Wifi quite flakey but a little better with upnp disabled.
If your going to use it for Sky fibre i would look elsewere.
