    Asus WL-566gM MIMO 240 Router

    Anyone used one of these before, I need a new router to replace my BT HomeHub.
    Its gonna be wired to my desktop PC and a NAS, and wireless to Wii, 360 and Laptop, Ive looked at the 'draft N' routers but the reviews out there for the Belkin say it's a bit lacklustre and I've had issues with Netgear before. So I saw the Asus:

    or I also saw this :

    The most important thing to me(apart from a solid fast reliable connection on wired esp) is easy to use config software.

    I'm also wanting a 'central' large disk drive so I'm thinking a 500gb NAS device, anyone with any exp or recommendations please shout!

    Unless you've already got an ADSL or ADSL2+ supported ethernet modem, neither of those routers is going to function on a BT line based broadband connection.

    As for the Asus equipment, I've got an ADSL2+ router build by Asus, and it's been the most stable router out of the dlink, belkin and others I've used and supports UPnP brilliantly. the menu's might not have the same ease of use as the bigger names, but the functionality is just as good and in some cases slightly better.
