Wireless Router Recommendations

[KaraMurat]

Hello there guys/gals, I'm in the process of picking up a new router so I wanted some recommendations and your views on a router I was thinking of purchasing.

It is the D-Link DIR-655 seems like a pretty good router and seen positive reviews, wanted to know if anyone had any experience or could recommend any other good routers.

Only have 2 requirements the router should pretty much meet.

Requirements

• Around at £60 or less
  
• Gigabit + 11n would be nice to have
  

All your help much appreciated in advance.

d-link wrt54gl (with custom firmware) - are the best routers i know

i think they are a bit more than £60 though - perhaps you could get a 2nd-hand one off ebay !!!

i doubt you will get a GOOD 11N for less than 60 notes

I think I saw a wrt54gl on Amazon for around 60£, I don't know how I would do the custom firmware though, have you got any easy to understand links?

Also about the 11n thing, I don't really need it, I thought it would be good to have but it's not a must.

Thanks for the recommendation dugdiamond (i know you don't like being called dug/doug lol

What about DD?

 

[dugdiamond]

DD-WRT is okay

best to use tomato firmware

Personally I wouldn't buy anything that is branded D-Link. Poor quality imo.
