Can you please explain what a "Pre N router" is please?

AFAIK there are no commodity routers that will do the QoS traffic control you want, to get this you'll need to pay a lot more. (like £250)

Ouch! And here was I thinking that a £100 for a router was expensive

I've got a Belkin and it is stable enough for me.

Having read that Belkin provide "Lifetime Support" somewhere or other, I was inclined to go with them immediately on that basis alone. I have a feeling that I maybe needing them.

Your biggest problem is likely to be the wireless range which generally is obscenely over stated.

In reality, if it will find me when I am sat between 20 and 30 feet away, all be it through one wall of 8 inches or so. I shall be happy.
One thing I haven't investigated however, is how I connect the desktop to the router? I have a Motorola Surfboard CM, which is presently connected to a NIC inside my desktop. Do I need to purchase any additional cables? Or is everything I need included in with the router?
Any hints?
Thanks again.
