Telecoms wireless routers

Are they any good? I need to replace my current one and they can do it for $50 and charge to my acc.
Or should I go for a fancy pants one?

50 bux sounds good to me I'd give it a go

Unless you need fancy pants dual band 802.11a/b/g/n and gigabit network ports, i probably wouldn't bother. I know one person who has the Telecom Thompson (white dealie) and she has no major complain of product as a normal user. That's pretty cheap and easy tbh.

We crank the shit out of ours, we work from home running a couple of sites, plus my sons crazy hacking sillyness, and online gaming
at the same time.
Our connection keeps dropping out, so we jiggle cords and move the wireless unit around on a long network cable, and its starting to
piss me off.
Does any of this make a diff?

If you have reception problems try changing the channel before forking out for a new one. If you do fork out you may as well go N, usb adaptors are pretty cheap now... though still quite a step up.

yes.
posts get automatically word wrapped as defined by width of the forum and then you are chucking in an extra carriage return which you should only use for a new paragraph.

Cranking the shit out of it shouldn't really matter.

The connection that keeps dropping out.. thats the router connecting to the network yeah not your laptop connecting to the router??.. in which case it could be a symptom of the fact you live in the jungle?

If so a new router *may* help. An amplifer might help your local wireless
