I've been through a bunch of adsl routers and modems and these are easily the best. A little more expensive than the bottom end, but very definately worth it. Avoid, from personal experience: Dynamode (Crashed often, then after 2 months stopped saving anything to nvram meaning that you couldn't map any more ports or change the config in any way, and a last-ditch attempt by flashing the firmware resulted in a dead modem/router.) Speedtouch. 330 USB is an utterly horrible thing. It's not a router though, so not even in your market. I also had a 530 which can be had in multiport router status I think, and that was ok - apart from a habit of locking up when it got warm. But the netgear DG834 gives good impressions from the packaging to the setup screen. Has proved utterly reliable here for about 4 months, and I've just ordered another for work. This one isn't wireless (4 port rj45 only) but I understand there's a similar model for wlan. BTW, for general interest, Speedtouch sell an "adsl/cable internet router" which is mis-advertised and doesn't have any adsl connectivity.
It's worth taking a look at intertex (www.intertex.se). The IX66 I use works pretty well, and has the added advantage of being SIP aware. Jon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
