For your home/office? I've always gone with LinkSys products.

Which one specifically, there are tons to look at.

It's for home office, just 2 to 3 computers on a cable connection.

I have a Linksys fast ethernet 10/100 5 port hub and it slows down my connection big time when I have 2 computers connected at teh same time.

You must have it configured wrong then. I am running a Linksys BEFW11S4 (10/100 4 port + router + wifi) and it works like a charm. Smoking fast even with the 2 or 3 computers hard-wired and a laptop on wi-fi.

I would recommend you go with any standard linksys router and make sure you upgrade to the latest firmware and then go to http://www.broadbandreports.com and go through the speedtests and tweak tests to make sure you are optimally configured.

Bosche or portacable make sure you use the carbide bITS!

I run a dumb hub from netgear at home with two to three computers with no loss in speeds.
