Quality wireless routers - can anyone recommend one....

+1 for Tomato. I've got a WRT54GL, and I've just checked my uptime - 63 days, and I think that's only because of a powercut.

My 2800 vigor (and ciscos) have had uptime in excess of a year :-) My NAS was pretty close to a year till one of my parents switched off the temporary extension lead supplying power to the loft and the UPS shut it down after being on battery power for 30 mins. :'(

Here at work I use a Draytek 2955, and back at our old premises we had a 2910 - both have extremely long uptimes, however a 2800 seems a bit excessive for home use if you ask me.

VPN and WoL are both very useful features of the 2800 (and the 2820), and vlan support is bonus too. Throttling and bandwidth/application filtering is handy when you have lodgers in the house. Stability rules, and mine was well worth the money (even more so as I got it cheap). My old 2800 went back to Draytek support when it was 5 years old to be checked, all FoC (turned out it was my phone line causing the problems)

My brother has a 2820, and my Dad has a 2800 (soon to get my old 2800vg). I can do remote support - all I need is the router to be on, and I can power up his PC and fix it (assuming it boots in into Windows!)
