since all you I.T. people are all in one place/ thread, this will save me starting a new thread, im looking at getting a new ADSL wireless router, Ive got a Telecom Thomson TG585 4 port wireless ADSL2+ router, which has started losing Internet connections every now and then.
On my home network i am running 2 desktops and 2 laptops all wireless, Im wondering is this too much for my router why it keeps dropping Internet connection.
Should I buy another router, and what make model, would you recommend.

Too lazy to start a new thread eh? Too much for your router...probably not. That model is pretty stable. See other thread about dodgy filters/wiring/adsl connection first.

If you must try another router, threaten to leave Telecom for Vodafone....mention "they'll give me a free router" and the customer rep's "supervisor" normally steps in and offers you a free replacement. Otherwise, cheapo TP-Link ADSL routers are absolutely rock solid. Wish I could say the same about D-link, Belkin, Netgear and Linksys stuff I've sold.
