I am after another modem/router, I reckon it will be something like a netgear 834.

Currently have one thats branded ADDON, tis ok, just a bit of bugger on reset, have to log in and occasionally do that twice then reboot my computer.  Cant complain really though, has been in use a while and I think is an ADSL2+ version.

Yeh I've got an Addon one - GWAR3000 - needs rebooting daily, otherwise ok.

Some of test ADSL modems made by ZyXEL, altho Belkin and Netgear gear ok

I've got a DG834G - more or less problem free, although it does seem to get stuck on a low sync rate now and again, necessitating a reboot.  Usually goes 3 to 6 months without a problem, which given that it's connected via a 5km BT line to Demon, is about as good as one can reasonably expect. :) :) :)

Netgear WGR619 here

It worked outta the box from day one - never, ever had a problem, wireless is just "there" when I want it.

The only thing I customsed was the wireless security etc to tighten it down - but it's a cracking router.

So, what is the best modem to go for.

Is Netgear as good as the rest or is there better out there.

Not particulary interested in the wireless type, but am ready for achange.

Most wireless routers that I've come across have a number of ethernet ports - sometimes as many as 8.  You might as well get a wireless one because you're bound to want it one day.  Since my laptop died, my wireless network only gets used when my son brings his laptop home during the university vacations.
