The Buffalo sounds like an excellent choice. Ebuyer do these as well for a few quid less (£30.44 including super saver postage and VAT - 44p over budget I'm afraid): http://www.ebuyer.com/product/97221 I might even get one of them for myself - the 2nd Linksys router I got from PC World doesn't work too well with DD-WRT. So I'm stuck with a Linksys firmware main router and the router with the superior DD-WRT firmware running only as a client bridge for my wired network (because the Linksys firmware doesn't allow client bridge mode).
