Recommended Fibre router

What routers would you guys recommend for Fibre?

Thinking of joining Zen soon when Fibre enabled, who recommend the Netgear WNR2000 at £60 incl VAT but I've read mixed reviews of this.

Will definitely need to purchase a new router anyway so if I'm going to spend upwards of £50 then I want to make sure I am getting good value.

Are there any others which people would recommend?

Do you need gigabit LAN?

Don't think so. Why would you need this? Does it improve speeds/performance?

Not for your Internet connection, but handy if, for example, you are backing up to a network drive or streaming HD video in your house and your hardware supports it.

I got a Buffalo NFiniti WHR-G300NV2 in February for £23.99 delivered. No problems, and the setup wizard just worked, even finding my static IP address automatically.

Three or four others have bought one since.

I have been very happy with the Netgear WNR2000, much better than the Thompson Router originally recommended by Zen so it was sent back. Good coverage throughout the house including converted loft, in the garage and in both front and back gardens. But as Robertos says there are cheaper ones around but I was happy with the outlay on the Netgear.

I use the Netgear WNR3500 with BT Infinity and love it.......

Zyxel NBG 4604
Has Gigabit ethernet ports. The only gotcha, do NOT use spaces in the SSID.

Looking forward to getting a combined modem/router in the future, but not one of the units that are currently available.

I use the Netgear WNDR3700 and am more than happy with it
