WRT54 range. This seems to be coming up a few times a week at the moment
Get a Linux based one, wack the Tomato/DD-WRT firmware on it and you have a very fast, stable router with plenty of features

Im using a WGT624 V3 router(netgear) which is very stable/reliable. I did have an older version for about 5+years (it was a refurb) but the wireless died on it, cable was super though so only a minor issue. Managed to get this newer router for £35 from pcworld due to the belkin router being crappy and not liking cable(disconnect after 5mins) but loving wireless, i tried 3 of them all with the same issue so gave up and was offer that at a discount from something like £90 to £35. range on the wireless is great, its around 3 or 4 walls away from my room and yet my laptop gets a second to best signal quality.
I could do with one aswell.
Anymore suggestions?
I'm using a D-Link one and it's crap!
At the moment Virgin seem to have a deal for new customers for a router so it might be worth contacting them to see if you can get a deal on one of there routers which are netgear wgt624v
Yeah I recently got one of those free wireless routers but my PS3 doesn't like it.

Will that work with my Virgin broadband? It looks decent enough.
I'm never sure if I'm cable or ADSL.
I'm pretty sure I'm cable though?
Yes that should work. They have them in my Local PC World.

Unless you want the draft-N wireless, it still only has a 10/100 switch.
Granted, it looks nicer, but does it do anything that the cheaper WRT Linux range?
nope, nothing different.
Like I said I use a WRT with a netgear 8 port 10/100/1000 switch and it does all I need.

What is the problem?
I think they may have had a falling out and now they don't talk to each other.

Netgear WGR614 version 7 has always been highly recommended for virgin and can't complain with mine.
