Router problems
Just a point with the Netgear DG834G. I agree with John that they are extremely stable - just make sure you get a rev 3 or above.
The rev1&2 use a Texas Intruments AR7 chip wheras the V3 uses a broadcom chip which is much more stable and can deal with more noise on the line. The AR7 chip is so bad with high noise lines that quite a few ISPs will now not support them with intermittant connection issues.
On router choices Parthiban I'm swaying towards the Linksys (Cisco for home) range atm. Something like: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduc...96&subcat=
toxo Alternatively you could look into Draytek, whos products I've always found to be rock solid. Something like this should do:

Something like: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduc...96&subcat=Thanks for that, that's definitely cheaper than the proper cisco stuff and assuming it's still got decent quality components in could be a good buy.

Marsdendean I just got one of the ones from Virgin (home hub) and everytime the PC goes off and on, it can't connect for some reason??
It looks like the PC is loosing the IP address? Sorry for the thread steal!

With the printer, I looked in the instruction manual and then threw that away and asked tech support, as it needed an access code to enter engineer mode.
Each peripheral will be different.
