Recommend good reliable basic router?

You guys were great about six months ago when I had just spent two whole
weeks trying to get a router working with my desktop and laptop.

But now, unfortunately, the router has died.  It's not the adaptor.  It's
definitely the router.  Damned nuisance.

This time I don't want to buy a factory refurb which doesn't come with an
installation disc and documentation, because that'll only give me the grief
I had trying to install the last one - until you guys were able to help me
to get the thing to work. (But even then it took us about a week to trick
the thing into gear!)

What do you recommend?

I have a desktop (which will connect to the router via an ethernet cable)
and a laptop (with a wireless connection).  The router needs to be beside
the desktop and the laptop will never be more than 8 metres away.

I don't know what made the last router die.  It could have been some kind of
power surge.  So if there's a router that comes buffered against attacks
like that, all the better!

Happy to order online or go pick up from Comet or Curry's.  (Don't have any
other suppliers around this neck of the woods.)

I need something known to be reliable and long-lasting.  Really don't want
to be plunged into this hell again for a good few years!

Thanks.
