You can get these triband
You can get these triband ones now that can offer b,g and n channels at the same time. I use a Netgear N speed router and have had no problems at all. The admin panel is brilliant, accessed via a web page served by the router.

It was highly recommended to me not so long ago.
I've had 4 different Netgear
I've had 4 different Netgear ones now; not one of them has been able to hold a reliable WiFi connection in my block of flats, and not one of them has lasted more than a year. The only real question is why it took me four of the things to swear I'd never buy another...
I too have heard nothing bad about the DrayTek ones, and that's what I'd be using now, if it weren't for the fact that o2 have provided a perfectly workable router for me.
I've always found that for the best WiFi connection, you can't beat a dedicated access point. they can be a bit tricky to find these days, but they're cheap and (in my flat at least) give a significantly better connection than multipurpose boxes. If you're using it in a less hostile environment (I have about 20 other access points in range,) you might find the difference less pronounced.

I have an ancient USR one...I'm not even sure if they still make stuff, but it's been running for about 6 years now. Slow as a dog...I should probably get a new one...
