This is pretty good yes.
If you want extra signal performance look out for a oruter with MIMO technology by belkin.

Oh I have had a look around for MIMO products.
They are all cheaper than the Dlink one I posted to start with.

Would that be better than the original one I posted?
It has less features and no awards like the gaming router.

The router you psoteed does actually itself have MIMO. If you do not need these additional featuress then the belkin MIMO's have the same siganl performance and coverage and u shud therefore go for one of them

oh yes. u will not really benefit from MIMO if your PCI/USB/onbaord reciever doesn't support it

depends. Ask for a ethernet modem or one with both. If you currently have a modem/router you could for now (before you get talk talk) run your current modem/router as just a modem and have that going into your new router.

That's what im thinking of doing running my current router as a modem.
But its dying, it kicks me off internet every fewdays and have to reset it.
Ill email talktalk and ask for a Ethernet modem.
There a big company they can afford it:D

They should give you one really. I thought most had USB and ethernet.
