I'm using the latest firmware, I didn't want to admit it but this router has caused me nothing but trouble since I bought it.  The software side of it is horrendous, it took me 5 hours to get everything up and running to begin with, and now I have this to add to the list.  I bought it to allow my mum and dad to connect through wireless with the laptop they're planning on purchasing, so I don't need it. Maybe when they decide to part with the cash Wireless N will be the new standard and I can soundly invest in a new router.

Until then I will stick to using old faithful Voyager, and spread the word of Zooms' failure.

From your own personal experience, kitz and roseway, would you mind sharing with me what you would class as a freaking awesome wireless router?

I don't think you'll get us to describe any router quite so enthusiastically. There's no single best model, because the best performer on one particular line may well be only average on another line. Routers which we have generally good experiences with are:-

Netgear DG834G (v3 with latest firmware upgrade or v4)
Netgear DG834GT (especially with the DGTeam unofficial firmware)
Speedtouch ST585 / Thomson DG585

I've no personal experience of the BT Voyagers, so I'll leave those to someone else to comment on.

I second that sentiment Roseway
