Hey guys,

My Belkin wireless router seems to be crashing an awful lot lately, tried resetting and updating the firmware but to no avail, so I have to keep rebooting the router sometimes once a day or more. Changed the wireless channel to see if that made a difference but it hasn't. It's not in an enclosed space so isn't over heating.

Ideally don't want to spend more than £50, been recommended a Buffalo one for about £30 which looks ideal.

Has to be Cable based (not ADSL modem type) with wireless networking as I'm on a Wimax based service instead of ADSL... recommendations?

Cheers
James

I bought a netgear a few days ago.
Plugged it in, ran some software and it works

Cost is £55ish online, or £70 from PC World with a free USB thingy

Last one I bought was a D-Link from PC World (the on-line reserve & collect thingy) - £39.95. Attached to a PC & Telewest/NTL/Virgin/whatever they're called this week Modem - fired up first time. Only a minor MAC address issue with a laptop but now works fine
