Any advice on which one to get/avoid/

T.I.A

I use Netgear, never seemed to have a problem with mine tbh

I'd agree, but with all wireless routers you need to think about the size of the property and how/when it was constructed, I know plenty of people who bimble down to PCWorld, buy whichever router looks nice and shiny and get it home, only to find the signal isn't strong enough throughout the house etc.

Draytek are the most stable and best performance/quality IMO but can be quite expensive.
Netgear are the excellent price/performance ratio!!

HTH

Stay clear of Belkin who have gone downhill in recent years. Netgear are a decent cheap option and the DG834 (Various models) is a good option.
Draytek are very good but for the average user they are a bit pricey.

I got a netgear N150 yesterday . I was told Karoo only support netgear wireless routers?

Karoo used to supply Thomson routers (may still do as well) Karoo tend to supply whatever compatible router they can get the cheapest.

You were told incorrectly.

FWIW, Netgear are good routers - so even if the advice you got was a bit misleading, the result is a good one.

I'm using an Edimax, very good

Its just such a shame we have the worst ISP on the planet

Karoo, please fk off!

Netgear

Had the Netgear Rangemax for a while, and just bought the Netgear DGN1000.

Very good and only £50 from PC World (spit)

cheers for the advice guys
