Need an ADSL router ASAP!

My ADSL wifi router blew up over night.

So I need to pick one up on my way home, hence I need one that a large PC shop sells ideally.....

Any recommendations?

Picked a Linksys WAG345G and am resonably impressed. Been up for weeks but doent like forwarding DNS request's if you use static IP's (works fine using DHCP), have to enter the isps dns server onto each machine.

Was only £40 with a wifi pcmcia card at the time from a high street shop.

That's a good price. How did you get that on the high-street. I can only find the 'web exclusive' offer for £40.

Gonna pick up the DG834G on the way home, got it for 64.99 with a free usb wifi adaptor.

Seems to be well recommended on the forums and works with long lines, which mine is

Just about to upgrade the firmware, it's running 2.10.22 and I see that 3.01.25 is the latest on the website.

Is that the one to go for? or is there a better/beta one?

You can select store pickup when ordering online, ordered at 16:45 and picked it up at 17:15.
