    Draytek Vigor 2820vn at home, 3300V in the office.

    Absolutely rock-solid routers, cost a lot higher than your average Netgear or Linksys, but you get what you pay for - their VoIP models are great too. In the office we've got a SDSL line, cable & a 3G backup modem, all three can be configured very easily and let us stay connected even if one of our ISPs have problems.

    Support can be a little slow, but when you do get a reply it's straight from the developers rather than some call centre following scripts.

    For my own personal use, over the years I've had Linksys, Belkin, Netgear and Thomson routers - none of them can touch the Draytek [although I did have a Motorola Surfboard cable modem for 7 years which just kept on going and going!]

    I've used tons of different routers but in the end settled with a D-link 2740B which has been rock solid, came with a crazy 11 year warranty too!

    The best one is Cisco - don't block for no reason the ports like Belkin router.

    Belkin. However, found NETGEAR to be more of an idea pick for home setups. We setup a house with NETGEAR products and have found them to be pretty solid.

    Netgear WNDR3700 is my base unit. I have a D-Link (forget model) acting as a repeater (using DD-WRT) and a Buffalo WHR-G125 (with Tomato) acting as a wireless Ethernet bridge for my Xbox.

    I also have a Linksys WAP54Gv2 (DD-WRT micro) acting as an Ethernet bridge for a wireless camera whose built-in wireless wasn't strong enough.
    If you have to operate your company behind the scenes or under a fake name, maybe it's time to leave the industry and start something fresh.

    Linksys does the trick for me.

    I currently use the cisco linksys with speed booster. It's great when connecting wireless devices for faster speeds / maximum speeds as though you had a wired connection to them

    Hiya

    I use an refurb Juniper SSG5 which i managed to get from work with my VirginMedia Speedhub in bridge mode.

    I use Junipers everyday at work and find them very stable, The one at home does not even break a sweat.

    ASUS RT-N16 with Tomato firmware. I have been using it for around a year now and have never had to reset it. Great thing is it has 4x gigabit LAN and wireless N. The range is fantastic too, I can use it 20m away down the end of my garden.
