    Hi all,


    Can anyone recommend a new router for me?


    Currently using a netgear DGN2000 but ive had enough of it, for some reason I think its on its last legs as today watching the footy and it seems my router locked up and lost the signal to my box.


    had to reset my router just to get the signal channel going again, been doing this a lot lately so I guess the router is starting to pack up, getting lots of glitches too and I only share to 5 boxes, 4 in my house and 1 to my dad!


    so can anyone recommend a good router and what the minimum requirements are for card sharing in a router?


    Many THanks

    The DGN2000 is an ADSL2+ modem / router combi-device isn't it... ?


    To replace it, you need a device with the same combi-functionality, or get a seperate modem and connect a new router-only device to it..

    I would recommend a router that is compatible with the DDWRT firmware. I use a Cisco E4200, very stable, high throughput, great wireless.
    Also i have good experience with the Netgear WNDR3700.


    Hope this helps!

    I bought a router from second handshop for a fiver and flashed it with DD WRT and it now is a better router than some at a significantly higher price.


    You might want to lookup how to do a hard reset and reflash the one you currently have before completely giving up on it, but nothing lasts for ever :)


    A word of advice, if you are going to flash a replacement with the DD WRT Firmware, check the installation instructions, some are a lot easier to flash than others.
