[ubuntu-uk] Router reccomendations

[Lizzeh Rodriguez]

Linksys has never failed me yet (using one for 2 years now, and before  
that, another Linksys that is still going strong after 4 years).   
Belkin and Netgear have always failed on me after a year or so.
I have the  Linksys WRT54GL.  Use WEP encryption.
