Billion 7800N

looks good but not exactly great availability or pricing it seems

would ideally prefer sub £100

Draytek Vigor 2920n.

Not cheap. But it never goes wrong. I talked my dad into buying one at home, it's the first router we've had that's lasted over a year without randomly dying or just being annoying with its disconnects.

My previous workplace didn't restart their 2820n for 2 years. Only got rebooted a couple of times when I installed a Netgear switch which wouldn't talk to it - and of course it was the Netgear switch at fault.

LINKSYS WAG320N - this is a quite good model/manufacture. It supports Dual Band N, and 5GHz Channel mode. A USB port is also included for Storage across your home network (LAN).
