Hi again,

Our current office router is absolutely terrible. It's a standard device that our ISP gave us, but we need to get rid of it. It overheats in the summer (which it then has a wee break to cool down before switching on again).

We have one very basic PC server moving small files, one basic desktop, and up to eight wireless devices. Our office is not huge so we don't need anything that has a 500m range :p or anything that can have millions of devices connected.

I don't really know much about these things. Help and suggestions are very much appreciated.

Hi Smorizio, do you know much about these routers? Do you think a standard consumer router would work okay? Thanks for those suggestions. Our IT guy recommended a system but it just seems way overkill for a tiny office.

It is this: http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-UniFi-Enterprise-System-Range/dp/B005H4CDF4

and this: http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor120.html

that he recommended to us.

I'd go with the Cisco that smorizio recommended. It has VPN access. so you can access your server remotely (from outside the office). I would assume this would be useful for you? Also, Cisco support is generally pretty good.

If you want a site to site VPN, then the slightly more expensive Cisco RV215W is an option for you.
