hey all think its time for a new router had mine for almost 2 years and its just a standard free one from sky.

i've been looking at these routers;

- Netgear DGN2000 300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem/Router
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-143-NG&groupid=46&catid=1452&subcat=1456

- Edimax AR-7265WNA 300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem/Router
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-036-EX&groupid=46&catid=1452&subcat=1456

- Belkin F5D8633UK4A 300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem/Router
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-081-BE&groupid=46&catid=1452&subcat=1456

its going to be running 4 laptops and 3 computers ( maybe at the same time )

so please could you pick from the 3 above which u think would best suit me, if non from the above would please recommend

Thanks, luke

Edimax i aint really had any experience with, so i'd stay well away, along with Belkin, so you've only got the netgear left

ok thank you for the reply

also i have hard that it helps if your router is upstairs, as it gives better singal strength. is this true?

Keep your router next to the master socket if your on an adsl connection regardless of whether its up or downstairs, and go for netgear - belkin have always given me headaches, edimax can often lack support firmware etc etc. While netgears support is offshore, firmware is updated often and the units have a simple interface to get to know and use.

I would rather get

Linksys by Cisco WAG160N-UK 300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem/Router

I'd recommend NetGear, their QoS is very good!!
