I've used most of the domestic routers, Dlink, 3Com and US robotics.
I've got a Dlink504? in a remote office running as a gateway for 3 pcs on a little switch and its not droped since instalation in August last year. They also seem to have alot of options far more than I know what it does.
So I'd go for a D Link.

DLink DSL504 is good.
Nokia IP55 better.
My new alcatel has a nice program that lets you configure it easily.
www.dslsource.co.uk have them (Speed Touch 510) for £45.

All routers should work well with BT it's when you get off BT you can get problems. D Link and US Robotics are fine on other ADSL suppliers however I had a 3Com router which kept dropping on Pipex after being dragged into the technical scenario it turns out the servers that BT use from Cisco to deal with the Non BT ADSL traffic don't properly support some of the language and hence they were causing the 3COM to drop the connection. This eventually meant 3COM removed all there domestic router products...

I've got a Nokia IP55 - great bit of kit, dead easy to set up and use, and a fulle 100mBit 4 way switch built in.
I have a Dlink 500.
there is a security rick with these in that you cannot change the default telnet password ...
try it ... password is private ..
also they have firmware issues with MSN6 at present

DLink DSL-300G+
Cheap at £74 and next day from Amazon.co.uk. Works well and easy to configure. Works with BT ADSL services and not bad at all.
Nokia IP55 is good, but expensive.
The D-Link DSL-300G+ although good, doesn't have a switch built in, plus i can get it for 52+vat from my supplier.
the D-Link DSL-504 ADSL Router with 4port 10/100 Switch, is 72+vat unless someone knows somewhere cheaper?
Have used a Solwise SAR110 at home since Jan - no problems, very feature packed and completely stable.
If you need the extra ports to put PCs on (if you don't already have a switch), the SAR715 would be a better bet. Have put a couple of them in small offices and they've been great. Nice solid metal cases too.
