Buffalo...I have used their cable routers as WAPs and they are ok...but yeah cheapish and cheerful.

broadbandbuyer seems to have a limited stock comapred to ebuyer though...that is the only prob. maybe I have just got to get used to navigating the site

Really?! oh, they're normally pretty good for most things....

Professionally, I go with Linksys. Here's my top 5:

1. Linksys
2. Netgear
3. Belkin
4. Asus
5. D-Link

I find it strange you place D-Link on the bottom. I've had less issues with my D-Link than LinkSys or NetGear. Professionally, though, there are high quality Cisco routers to be used...but mainly for large companies and networks.

well, yah.... cisco for large operations.... As far as the D-Link, I've had more problems from them then everybody else..... 'course that was like 8 years ago when they disappointed me..... maybe their qc and ease of use has gotten better over the years. I've had probs with Netgear NICs but rarely routers.

Maybe I just need a closer look.

Cheers all, this is really helpful stuff!
