Modem/Router Recommendation

[i0nwr1t3r]

Hi All,
My old trusty ADSL/ADSL2+ modem/router has all the ports on the back of it broken from careless cable swapping & the Lan cables keep falling out when I try to power cycle my modem.

It's a 5Y.O ? billion & I'm looking to update with maybe gigabit ethernet & wireless N connectivity also.

It must be able to support ADSL2+ & have 4 lan ports on the back (8 would be better).

Budget $200 unless there is something that justifies the added expense.

All recommendations appreciated. :)

Cheers
