Ive got a DG834 that might be ADSL2+ compatable, its one of the big ones, not the smaller re-designed ones.

Should be actually, as Ive got the BT Total Broadband 8mb Package so Im presuming thats ADSL2 and it was working before I got the homehub.

Id go for the Linksys WAG354G-UK.
Netgear is horrible rubbish IMO and should be banished to the ends of hell.

Nah, just the new stuff. The older stuff is ace.
Personally, I wouldnt touch Linksys either.

the 834Gt is ADSL2 compatible, as are the Linksys WAG354G and GS. If you can get one at a decent price then a WAG54G is probably a decent option if you want ot keep costs down.

Vigor = Great for business, but most home users wont use enough of the functions for it to be worthwhile spending the extra cash.

Ive got a WAG54G, and the 4 ports on the back no longer work :evil: Only the wireless does. I know someone elses whos done the same as well, so I wouldnt get another one to be honest!!

Im after a new router too, need to go wireless. Currently have a westell router which has been solid as a rock. So would like something to match it.

I cant choose between Zoom, Zyxel, US Robotics or D-Link as Ive no idea which is best.
