can anyone recomend a decent router? one that doesn't have to be reset every 5 mins :evil: tried upgrading firmware but this hasn't helped in the slightest :rolleyes: so it look likr a trip to pc world today!

I picked up a Buffalo AirStation Turbo G from work, purely because I needed one and I couldn't be arsed to go anywhere else. Was fairly cheap, and after I'd set it up right works perfectly

no router should need resetting all the time, no matter how crap it is.

i've tried upgrading the firmware loads of times and it's not having it, was only a cheapo belkin one that cost £25:rolleyes: i'm gonna go and spend a little more this time maybe £100 and get a decent one! every 5 mins i have to pull the plug and reset:evil:

Wired or wireless?

Do I remember rightly that you're on Telewest cable? (or NTL, Virgin or whatever it's called this month)

I've been using a (wired) Linksys BEFSR41 v2 for a good few years now after my cable modem. It's been running 24/7, and has only ever been reset when we've had a power cut. At one point it was serving 8 PC's (through a piggy-backed Linksys switch) and never gave me any issues :)

telelwest wireless, i can'ty get anything out of it now, as soon as i connect to the internet it lasts about 10 seconds, i'm typing this from the main "hard wired" pc in our house...
