Re: wireless router help
I have a belkin 128 running my telewest account, it works fine and is still fast, I got it and the wireless card from PC world, the router was around £50 and the card about £20.

Re: wireless router help
Hi guys the one that telewest/ntl use is a netgear kitt and is cool for normal internet use ....
however if you plan on using any kind of router for gaming then you will suffer with some issues mainly round the slow speeds and lagging type problem however if you use the router via a cable then you should not have the same issues .....
i know what you will say to this "but i want wireless" !! well i say if you want wireless then put up with a bit of lag and some slow speeds...and get help installing cos they can be bugger sometimes....
super!!!!!

Re: wireless router help
Hi.
I had a linksys WRT54G v5 unit for my PC & FS N560 PDA. This simply refused to talk to my PDA for any length of time. I have my PC hardwired into the router. After about a week, I took it back & exchanged it for a Belkin F5D7231-4 unit. This was cheaper, so I was quids in. After a simple setup it has worked ever since. I would recommend this unit.
Regards.

Works well, and easy to set up.
I was going to get a belkin, as my friend has one, but the price decided it for me as the linksys comes with the usb network adapter.
