I may have knackered my router so if I can't get it working again, can anyone recommend an ADSL router (e.g. has a modem as well)? Doesn't have to be cheap but it must be reliable. Thanks  p.s. if you don't see me here for a few days/ week you know why  | ||

My System: 1200cc with 100,000,000,000 neurons and 100,000,000,000,000 connections | If you don't want wireless, I'd go for a Speedtouch 546 – they have a fantastic reputation, very reliable and have some features not found on most others.

My System: 2m NERA Prime Focus Dish for C/ku Bands, DM500, SkyStar2, Technomate 5500CIP, Force 1122. | I have recently tried a DLink DI-624 and I have to say its the worst box I have ever used. Very unstable on various Firmware versions. It is the only box available here in Lagos that can do PPPoE and Wireless but it doesnt do both with stability. Wired ethernet connections are stable though. One to avoid I think. | ||

I have a Linksys WAG354G (UK) which was on offer last Jan at PC world with PCMCIA card for laptop, I think it was £49.99 but cannot quite remember. It is however very reliable and I have upgraded the firmware once. I would however ask you to make sure that any that you buy can accomodate the new BT up to 8meg speed as some cannot cope with the flexible speed system.

| Try dsldepot if nothing else for a cheap spare Speedtouch or Netgear. I bought a Netgear to play with and its still connected at 8Mbs 3000 hours later! Firewall is useful for blocking ad sites altough somtimes it blocks a site with ads altogether but can easily have the blocking turned on and off if needs be. | ||

My System: nice forum | Channel Hopper, just interested which router mhku bought? As for me I'm using D-Link DI-624 for about 1.5 year and haven't any problems with this router. If someone want to buy new router - I'm strongly recommend to point the attention to this model Last edited by Tarelkin; 15-06-2008 at 10:47 PM. | ||
