Routers are boring aren't they? However a speedy internet is a lot of fun. So changing your router to something faster than the default one that comes with your broadband package might just give you a welcome speed boost. Which is exactly what we've done.

Plenty of options; easy to setup; parental controls

Not very consumer-friendly look; doesn't include a modem
