New 802.11n Router

Quick question as I might be in the market to buy a new one as I do suffer from poor wifi reception in my house with the current thomson 585 v7.
I am looking to purchase an ADSL Router with teh above spec as I want to be able to stream medie from the PC to my Xbox. I looked at homeplugs as an alterbative but they are not compatible with media extender without a regedit
I think I am on ADSL2 but cant remember - i so is there anything specific I need to look out for in terms of purchasing a new router?

Thanks

What does this mean ?
If you can get two devices to communicate using an ethernet cable, then the avEasy homeplugs simply replace the ethernet using the mains wiring.  No software configuration required.

Re: New 802.11n Router

There was an article on FAQ on a homeplugs page somewhere that said that the following;
Apparently Homplug works with IGMP V2  whereas windows extender uses IGMP V3 and woudl require a windows registry edit to resolve
So am not too keen on messing around with windows registry
Any recommendations for an ADSL2 modem 802.11n router?

Buy yourself a BT Home Hub V2.0 (the Curved Black one) off eBay for a tenner.
They work perfectly on a PlusNet line and support ADSL2+ ....  and the Wireless is 802.11n.
