You won't go wrong with a Netgear, Linksys or Belkin. (netgear being the best)

DSL or ADSL?

I've just grabbed a TP-Link 108mbps wireless router for £17 from SVP Communications, it was fully up and running within minutes, Xbox360, PC, Dreambox500 and 2 wireless laptops all running sweet

£17 for a 108mbps Wireless router - you can't argue with that price!

Buffalo Airstations are excellent i bought one from ebuyer for £25 the range is really good as its got a booster that can be switched on in the web interface connected dreambox, dbox2, 320gb network drive, wii, xbox360, and 2 laptops, 1 desktop in about 15 mins

I think all modern routers come with the booster feature these days, my £17 one has it

Buffalo, are those the routers that you can reflash with a linux firmware allowing you to turn it into a dual WAN?

better off with the wrt54gl, it is the same but less messing around to flash with dd-wrt if you wanted to.
