As my current wireless is showing its limitations and age, I decided to go for a Netgear WPN824 router and MIMO card.
The instructions are as easy as putting in a cd and following the on screen prompts and it "just works". Connection rate went from 1-2mb to a stable 54-108mb
It also has shiny blue lights
As there seem to be people having wifi connection issues, I thought a recommendation for a simple solution was in order
p.s. pcworld do the router and receiver for £69.99 in a bundle deal

Uh oh i have gone through two of those in as many months because i was impressed with the cool blue lights. got fed up when the second one broke and went for a much more robust US Robitics one.
That's the first time I've ever ever seen 'robust' used an adjective for anything made by US Robotics.
Lemme second the OP's title!
I didn't go for a wirelsss router all these years because the last time I checked - they were fiddly to set up, took a bit of know-how - and didn't result in a completely reliable connection between PC and it.
And then came Netgear Rangemax application of MIMO technology.
Having set up a standard 834G for my mother-in-law - was amazed at how easy it was these days. Plug and play - literally!
So went and got a Rangemax for meself - DG834PN - and it's simply stunning. Anyone thinking to go wireless - do this!
We have three storeys - and the signal is strong from the router downstairs - all the way to the top. Haven't gone for a walk with it down the street, yet!
P.s. Don't forget to change your router's default password!
