Help me choose a new Cable Router

Need something to replace a D-Link DIR 615 which Virgin supplied - it's just plain useless with my iMac, laptop, Wii and iPhone over Wireless. PS3 and 360 are connected via Home Plugs and work pretty well but still not great.

Can anyone suggest a good cable router that works well on Live and is 'N' compliant?

Budget approx £100 or so.

Thanks

Re: Help me choose a new Cable Router

Currently using a Dlink 855 which is dualband wireless N. Seems to work ok with 360,imac & macbook. Also liked my Belkin N1 vision when I had it...

Dlink has lots of options in the config which is nice & dualband means you get no interference.

Mark..

Re: Help me choose a new Cable Router

Thanks for that mate.

Was passing PC World earlier and picked up a Netgear WNDR3300. Really pleased with it - everything works brilliantly wirelessly (Laptop, iMac, iPhone, Squeezebox) - Open Nat on MW2 on PS3 and 360 Live is fine.

In particular the Network Test on my Squeezebox Boom showed results over 10x better than what I had before!
