I've been using the Netgear one myself for over 2 years and have never had a problem with it, so one vote for me... Wink

Draytek Vigor's all the way for me.... I've had the 2600's before wi-fi, then with wi-fi B and later wifi G.... and later 2800G' s (ADSL2).

Now off ADSL and onto cable modems... so I'm on a Draytek Vigor 2900G for my cable modem.

A bit late now you have one but I have a Speedtouch 546 that I don't need. I have one I am using and another that is brand new and unused. I would sell the unused one. It is ADSL 2+ capable (I am using one with Be ADSL 2+ Broadband instead of the wireless BeBox). I don't like wireless gear.

I'm posting again with a new recommendation also, the Netgear I had before slowly started to die after 3 years and I started having problems with it holding a connection.

So I bought a Linksys WAG200G and it's been absolutely great, nice easy setup web interface, UPnP that actually works properly (perfect for Xbox 360), ADSL2+ compatible, WPA/2 security and a proper SPI firewall... Thumbs Up

Linksys is decent quality and the software works well, but their build quality and drivers are sometimes flaky. I'm going with D-Link when I buy.
