    Wireless Broadband router

    Our router died during a quality storm the other night () so now looking to go to a wireless setup for my mum and poss my machine and my dads lappy when he brings it home.

    Now I was looking at perhaps

    http://www.broadbandstuff.co.uk/prod...roducts_id=153 seems a fairly decent bundle and not too expensive.

    Any suggestions as really don't want it to be too expensive

    Cheers

    The netgear dg834g with pcmcia card is a good bundle too. Look around for it as some places also bundle it with pci cards. Can't remember where exactly though. Got mine from amazon.
    Not around too often!

    I have been told to avoid netgear after I brought a netgear router for someone that you have said!

    Will have a go with his router

    This is the second netgear that I have bought. My parents 814g is still going strong! However I am not sure it matters too much as long as you get a well recognised make.

    I can not recomend any of the Netgear stuff.

    Have a look at the SpeedTouch/D-Link sutff, much better imho and top qual support and rma proceedures

    also to note, a m8 of mine was going to do this but i got him to by a normal router and buy the ap seperate that way when wi-fi standards change or theres an upgrade in the speed his wi-fi setup would not look dated.

    Also it means all his eggs are not in one basket

    Buffalo aren't bad either.

    reet, list..

    http://www.3com.com/prod/en_UK_EMEA/...=3CRWE754G72-A

    The linksys and 3com are better bets because of the better firewalls included (full SPI)..

    Myth, you're not helping, anything you come up with for the US market is slightly pointless over here (different standards)

    I set up a US Robotics 9106 SureConnect for the house last week. Currently got two computers running off it wirelessly, will be three next week. I get full speed connection through one thick wall and up the stairs.

    Also make sure you get a decent PCI adaptor. My mate got an unheard of brand one from Maplin for £35 and only gets a Medium strength connection and his comp is almost in line of sight. I got this:

    and my connection is great.
