Just a point with the Netgear DG834G. I agree with John that they are extremely stable - just make sure you get a rev 3 or above.
The rev1&2 use a Texas Intruments AR7 chip wheras the V3 uses a broadcom chip which is much more stable and can deal with more noise on the line. The AR7 chip is so bad with high noise lines that quite a few ISPs will now not support them with intermittant connection issues.

Mine was an AR7

On router choices Parthiban I'm swaying towards the Linksys (Cisco for home) range atm. Something like: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-113-LS&groupid=46&catid=1596&subcat=

We've been rolling out WAG160 V2s to support remote accommodation buildings here and they seem pretty good... there is that old Cisco DHCP vs Vista issue to contend with though

toxo Mine was an AR7Must have a low noise line then :p

Yeah I think I was 200m from the exchange when I had it. It was a rev1, they were twice the size of the later models. By the time I had finished with it it'd got WOL, SSH and SNMP support too :p

toxo Alternatively you could look into Draytek, whos products I've always found to be rock solid. Something like this should do:

I've just ordered one of these :

Draytek are supposed to be pretty reliable, as are Edimax.

Coming to think of it I've got a linksys router in the place in Florida and that is rock solid which gives me confidence to buy one of these. Doesn't seem they do wireless N access points though which rules out the option of separating the wired and wireless functions, but as long as it works I don't mind too much.

Marsdendean I just got one of the ones from Virgin (home hub) and everytime the PC goes off and on, it can't connect for some reason??
It looks like the PC is loosing the IP address? Sorry for the thread steal!
My laser printer did that, so I gave it a static IP address which solved the problem.

With the printer, I looked in the instruction manual and then threw that away and asked tech support, as it needed an access code to enter engineer mode.
Each peripheral will be different.
