Spec me a internet router to replace a £$@%$ BT HH3

I'm sick and tired of that thing dropping WIFI constantly, and being generally crap (100mbps ports?!?). I want something simple that could replace it, with a at least two ethernet ports for NAS and PC. Not too expensive, not bothered about the extra stuff, just something that works (with good WIFI) and is relatively cheap.

NetGear, LinkSys, meh... Maybe there's something better than those run-of-the mill home solution, so I'm all ears. Asus?

I thank you!

Asus RT-AC66U

Looks interesting. Upper bracket of my price range.

N version is about 25% less. if you don't want to futureproof and don't have any AC devices, you might as well get that.

Yeah, only N devices. Looks like what I need. Thanks man.

Except, it doesn't have a integrated DLS router. DSL-N66U has.

Looks like I might go for the ASUS DSL-N14U. A straight up replacement it seems.

N14u doesn't have gigabit ethernet either.

yeah, hmm...
