Hi Mike, for what it's worth you might also want to take a look at Billion routers; I've used a 
Billion 7800N for several years and it has always (touch wood!) behaved and performed 
flawlessly.  I get a constant 22.2Mbps line sync speed on ADSL2+, which is faster than some 
of my neighbours get with their poorly-engineered VDSL installations...  :-)  

At the moment, the 7800N router is showing a 'system up-time' of just over 484days(!), and 
the ADSL connection has been up for 25days 12hrs.  The only time I lose the ADSL 
connection is when BT OpenReach do something in my local exchange, usually around 
2:00am in the morning.

My ISP is Andrews & Arnold, who are UK-based.  I was with Demon (which eventually 
became part of Vodafone) for >20yrs but they abandoned ADSL and wanted to put me onto 
VDSL which I didn't want or need so I changed to A & A about 18mths ago.

Also, the port forwarding on the Billion 7800N is easy to  configure and understand; I've never 
had an issue with access to my GB7DXC-5 DXSpider node either for users or for the links to 
other nodes.
