As one or 2 of you may know (TeamG5 members), my router is... in a word... rubbish. Can anyone recommend one that's under £40?

why is it rubbish? are you looking for a wireless one?

In the Uk you can check ebuyer.co.uk for cheap prices.

I can't fault Belkin's ADSL Wireless Modem + Router or Netgears. I've been using both for a long time and they more or less maintain themselves!

It just randomly disconnects Wireless users. I know where to get them from, I was actually asking what models/manufacturors you would recommend

I have had good experiences with several d-link routers, both 802.11b and 802.11g.
The prices (here in the US) are comparable to Linksys & Netgear and as far as I can tell, are essentially equivalent routers.
I would whichever of those 3 brands that you can find for the cheapest.

Good luck!

I'm happy with my £50 Linksys wireless router i bought from Tesco. Sets up easily. No problems so far. Forgotten which model it is though.

I would, as many have here, recommend Netgear. They are usually spot on. I use the DG834G and can't really fault it. They have a 108Mbps version, the DG834GT. However they are far from your £40 mark. Being as you seem to want wireless this will keep prices higher. Also do you need it to have a built in modem or not? Again this can affect the price, help you edge closer to that £40 mark.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck! :)
