    Incredibly cheap - but something has to be the compromise, it always is! Will it last for more than 6 months....?

    You'll have to find out for us Robbie!

    I got one (really a Origo BRP-1400) and it works fine but the power brick gets pretty hot. I also hear that the print server only works with certain printers.

    I also bought a Origo ASR-8000 to go with my pipex 512k and thats a different story!

    I've put a couple of the ASR-800's in at client sites - very easy to configure.

    Does what it says on the box - no frills router.

    gah I remeber when my carpy alcatel frog modem cost me a ton

    That router probably has some sort of ARM processor in it - and a sluggish one at that. So don't expect a lot from it.

    I have no idea what printers would work, probably depends on the way they implement the USB interface, which I know nothing about really.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    I've had mine for 2 months. Ebuyer were selling them for £18 inc VAT.
    I'm using an NTL Broadband connection. I cloned the MAC address of the router with the one that I had registered with NTL.
    Printerserver works OK with my HP inkjet.
    The AC adapter does run hot.

    See http://adsltech.com/origo/bbr1400/index.htm for more info.

    Well it arrived yesterday, but I'm sending it back - instead of plugging my RJ11 in to the router and doing away with mu USB modem, it requires a RJ45 from the modem.
    I will try something else. Anyone recommend a broadband router???

    Cheers
