Talktalk Wireless router

[LauraJ23]

Just wondering if anyone else has the same problems as me, basically it loves to drop the wireless connection a lot! It also takes ages to reconnect it.

Have no problems with mine

Yep, I've just moved mine from upstairs to downstairs to a more central position.

The ISP provided routers are normally cheap and can be liable to crashing (if overloaded) and may have a poor wireless.

I miss the home hub I had with bt! When it works this talktalk thing does very well, but when it goes down it's a nightmare. Can anyone recommend a decent one I could buy to give a more reliable performance?

I had this problem with our original router (talk talk). Pi55ed me off to an unreal degree, especially when playing COD!!

The only fix was a new router. I got one off a friend, but if you phone talk talk I am sure you can convince them to send you one, instead of leaving them.

Up to what price (and don't just say the cheapest) and what features do you want it to have. wireless N? dual band? etc...

Well if I said around £50-60? I have no idea what the cheapest one is these days. As long as it is reliable and I can connect multiple devices wirelessly and it does its job oh and a decent wireless range.

You could do worse than looking here http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/wi-fi/51/?ob=ratingd

The problem is most people only have experience of one or two wireless routers and just because it works well for them doesn't mean it will work well for you. There are a couple of resources out there which do testing (http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/ is quite good but US based).
