7800 modem not 7800n

Hi, this is a long shot but just looking for some advice from the people that know.

I'm looking to replace my router/modem and considering separates this time. This would allow me the flexibility of being able to keep the modem next to the phone socket but move the WiFi router wherever I want.

To be honest, the house isn't huge so a 7800n would cover all the rooms with N wifi but I've done a lot of reading and this seems to fail fairly often on the 7800n. As such I thought if I just get the 7800 (non N) and a separate wifi then I should get less chance of a failure.

I can't find that much info about the 7800 so is anyone using one and are you having any issues with it?

Thanks

Well just to follow this up. I chickened out and bought the 7800n but now it's going to be returned. The QOS is rubbish to the point that it can't really be called a working feature so that will probably be my last Billion product when basic functions like that don't work. Makes playing games online in a house with more than one person totally useless sadly.
