Wireless Routers, Good Option?

[lamborgini8]

Righty, my old Belkin 54g is driving me insane, so the point where its going out the window as soon as I get a new one and I am rather tempted to drive the car over it... Expect videos.

I have been looking around online reviews and came across this...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Netgear-WNDR3...K_Computing_Networking_SM&hash=item5addd1bca9

It looks awesome and more importantly it has a pretty good spec, it's only around £50 as well.

Does anyone have one of these? Are they any good or is there something I am better off with instead? It's mostly to be used for general web browsing, streaming videos and music to the PS3 and online gaming.

Never touch Belkin again.

Netgear FTW for home & small office use.

Not intending on it going anywhere near them again.

Belkin have got to be one of if not the worst when it comes to Wireless tech. Netgear are great, have several of there units and they are flawless, if your gaming/streaming it might be a better option to go with ethernet over power adapters though.

I think I will go for the Netgear one.

I have the PS3 connected to the Belkin unit via cable ethernet but the damn Belkin router keeps crashing every 10 mins on wireless or wired.

Overkill for your basic home user surely!

I'm using it with my virgin wired router, pc is running win7. like I said haven't had one single problem. even the router manager software is easy to use, so setting up a new password etc is a piece of pissed.

I tried loads as I had problems with Wireless in my house due to it being reinforced concrete. Linksys (WRT610N) came out on top in the end.

I would just go back to wired but I can count 8 different devices off the top of my head that use wireless.
