Restartable ADSL Router

I recently read about a wireless ADSL router that automatically
restarted. Not sure exactly what it meant but I have a Belkin that
locks up now and again, maybe due to traffic on transferring files
between computers so I am looking for one that won't do that.
I have a wireless laptop a desktop and a Freecom NSLU2 (Slug) that I
run as a file server with a couple of external drives so I am forever
transferring files around and the Belkin keeps locking up.
Does anyone know of anything that is sub £100 that either doesn't lock
up for wireless and file tranfer, or has this automatic restart if it
does? Mine doesn't if I don't use it much but I want one that handles
file transfers over many hours and that will run for weeks without
restarting the router.

Thanks

Buy an expensive one then, I.e. one that was designed to handle the
large volume of traffic you are throwing at it.

Why do you think expensive IT equipment exists? It's because domestic
kit is not going to cope with very heavy workloads.

The most reliable adsl wireless router under £100 on the market at the
moment is the Netgear DG834g, however, that is very far from perfect. If you
genuinly want stability you are going to have to look for a more expensive
(vigor) piece of equipment.
