After working my way through PC World's range of routers, at last I've stopped. Belkin G+MIMO covered the house fine, but kept on crashing. Netgear rangemax worked fine but only covered 1 room - 10ft away you're down to dial-up speed.
So - Dlink was next. Excellent coverage, setup pretty simple, and has run 1 week without a single hiccup.
Came in a pack with the DWA-140 USB wireless adaptor, which also sets up very easily and works very well. Unlike the Belkin and Netgear equivalents, this uses XP's wireless management - hence much quicker to connect.

I've had this router for a few months now and really there is no complaint...
I use it with Homechoice-Tiscali (see my review about them), so it's perfect because it doesn't have a modem (which is included in the Homechoice box). Signal is perfect around the flat, even though the router is located at the bottom of a shelf behind the TV (supposedly not a good thing to do with wi-fi stuff, naughty, naughty)...
It's FAST as well: I download lots of podcasts, and it literally takes a minute or two for entire hour-long programs. Wasn't the cheapest, but not the most expensive either, in any case entirely worth it...
I also use their laptop card (forgot the part number) and would give both a 10/10, I just know that nobody's perfect!
