[QUOTE="Topper, post: 93830, member: 186250"] Well longstockings everyone is entiitled to their opinion, but I'm sure Cisco and Draytec still haven't recovered from falling around on the floor laughing at such a stupid comment. The firewall found on a router is only useless if the installer doesn't know how to configure it correctly. This is because a firewall router works on the principal of no entry unless authorised access is given which is governed by a pre configured IP number configured into the router and usually an IKE preshared key which because it is also encrypted is unknown to anyone else. Added to which because most reasonable routers have the possiblity to stop anyone pinging them they are extremely safe and cannot be even found to be attacked. Only in the hands of an amateur are they leaky. I'd sooner have a decent router properly configured than a wireless router that all my neighbours can share whilst I'm out at work. ({}) And by the way VOIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol I therefore fail to understand your comment about it being better since the only requirement for VOIP is that you have a TCP/IP connection So........
