I've been using a 585 v6 for the past 3 weeks, it's yet to drop the connection, but even after a reboot at 15 days my noise margin is 12db

Wouldn't it be better to get your connection sorted, before looking at new routers, David?

I had one of them, horrible interface reliable though and ugly as sin, why are you changing routers David? Its not exactly a feature rich one, so if yours works then keep it. Your line stability is more important and I take it your router works ok?

I do, though when it was first released, I remember reading that it has an inferior (albeit still Broadcom) chipset to the v6.
