Why do you need a new router? Just flash DD-WRT on that Linksys

I'd agree with Smee again - you can give a router a new lease of life with DD-WRT or OpenWRT.

If you absolutely have to get a new router, TP-Link stuff is worth a look.

Absolutely crazy money for a household router, this is one third the price and more powerful

It puzzles me why you would suggest a 200 quid router to go with a satellite broadband service
