I have always had pretty good results from Billion equipment. I use the 7404 range, which may be a bit expensive, but they tend to be good at holding a connection and they are stable.
I have had less than stellar experiences with a couple of Netgear routers and WAPs over the years, although their ProSafe switches (the ones with the blue steel cases) have been fine.

Hello All,
I have been asked to buy an ADSL2+ wireless modem-router for a non-tech
friend.
My experiences with wireless modem-routers is varied and probably a bit
out of date.
I have had excellent service from a Dlink DSL-G604T.
Not long ago I bought a Netgear DGN1000 (for same friend) and it was a
complete disaster. It would take something like 20-30 mins to establish an
initial connection with the ISP. The Netcomm (non wireless) that it
replaced would establish a connection in about 1-2 mins, which is about
how long my Dlink takes.
An electrical storm wiped out the Netgear and now I have to find a
suitable replacement.
I wish to avoid the problems we had with the Netgear, and based on my
experience was thinking about a Dlink (2740BR or 2750B) but it occurred to
that maybe all/most of these devices use the same chipset.
Any advice that might help avoid purchasing another disaster would be
greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
--
Regards,
Terry Duell
