Which router?

Hi all,

Currently I have a Draytek vigor 2600 router but recently it has started playing up. Love the router but now its time to replace. Not wanting to spend more than £60 atm so what would you suggest to replace with, I am happy to go second hand.

Many Thanks

Mark

Netgear DG 834 GT with the broadcom chipset. Better than what you have been using. Cheap at auction I have one that started life with Sky around £5

marmalade can you please tell me if that netgear supports sending a wake on lan broadcast packet to your network. I'm looking for a router that can do this but they dont mention this capability on their datasheets

Not aware of this feature check out the manual:
