Hey guys,

Following on from my previous thread about which ISP to go for, I've decided upon BT Infinity option 2 (Unlimited).

Having set a installation date of next week, I realised that my old Netgear router isn't going to be up to the job for Fibre.

Please could I have a recommendation of a router that has really good wireless coverage? I'm really not up to speed on cable routers at all!

Really appreciate it, I've done a search, but a lot of threads get bogged down in detail I basically don't understand too well!

Cheers in advance :)

Cisco Linksys E3000 Wireless-N300 Dual Band Gigabit Cable Router any good?

or this?

Billion BiPAC 7800N Dual WAN ADSL2+/Broadband Wireless-N Gigabit Firewall Modem Router

I have heard the E3000 is good, a lot of people recommend the ASUS RT-N56U.

I hate Billion's I think they are a pile of cack this is from experience of supporting them at work in a previous job for 2 years but thats IMHO.

You might think they are fine for a consumer but when you have to be on the other end supporting them, yuck !

The ASUS sounds like a really good option, and it looks pretty smart to boot.

After doing a bit of reading since creating this thread, i'm torn between the Asus and the billion 7800n! :(

Why are the billion's a pile of cack then? :)
 
dont blame you.

a certain electronics retail chain bought them for all their stores and they were always dropping ADSL connection and you had to reboot them and more often than not you had to wait 30 minutes then magically the ADSL would come back. There is more to the story but I can't be bothered to relive those days. We put a Cisco into one Sheffield store and the difference was like chalk and cheese - 100 times better. Just IMHO tho.
 
I've never really associated ASUS with networking before, are they really that good? :)
 
I have the ASUS RT-N16 which is excellent, it supports both DD-WRT and Tomato which the RT-56U doesn't do if thats important. I use TomatoUSB Toastman's builds which are very good, especially for Quality Of Service features as there's nothing worse than trying to browse when someone else on the network is using P2P/Torrents etc.
