wireless router

I have a buffalo 54Mbps one and it is outstanding, it's never needed a reset and has been online for over 6 months! It has 4 wired ethernet ports, a built in hub and wireless that supports b/g standards. very good, and was only £49.99 from the dreaded PC World.

Previously had a Belkin router and it was AWFUL :( Had to reset about 3 times a day and wireless was patchy

Just my 2 pence worth :)

i have a netgear works fine but is fiddled by blueyonder so it can only be used for one pc wireless :mad:
so i cannot use it for my psp so i will have to get another

i have seen a few netgears on ebay could anyone point out the best if i put the links up
 
Erm what u mean fiddled?

They are links for router on Ebay, what has that got to do with being fiddled?

Fiddled in my books mean tampered with!

Or to play music on a Violin

Who gave you this information?

If they were to do that why sell it with 4 ports?

It totally defeats the object dont your think?

i went on the net to find out why i could not get my psp to work with it and i typed in my router and there was a forum where it explained ehat they have done


there is 4 ports because you can wire in pc's ect put it can only be used wirelessly with a usb adapter and it wont work with anything else thats wireless

so thats why i need a new router
 
Hmm Pathetic!

So defeats the object of having a wireless router to allow for wireless networks.

I hope you have written to netgear about this and got all the facts?

Who are you saying blocked it - Telewest Blueyonder or Netgear?

Did Telewest supply this router?

Standard Netgear Routers do not stop you from using multiple wireless connections.

Also I would steer clear of USB Wireless adapters - use a proper Wireless Network Card, they are generally more reliable and give a stronger signal..
