   I have the Sky Q router for my sins, it's not the best by any stretch of   
   the imagination, but it works. Only real drawbacks are no easy wall   
   mounting fixings and only 2 Ethernet ports, but at least both are   
   Gigabit. Only use one of them to link to the main switch in the rack   
   anyway, and all I use wireless for is the occasional checking of email   
   on the phone if there aren't any PC's switched on.
