That's all I can say about the router.I'd say go internal every time though. Why waste a USB port that could be used for something else?

Johnny Mac Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Cool, I was looking at a linkSys router and card, i've set up a few of them for people before, but it was stuff they'd already bought.Other people have mentioned 3COM or Netgear ones being good.I'll have a trawl around.

MattJimF Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 linksys are owned by Cisco so i would go with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timson Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I bought a netgear once, couldnt fathom how to get it working, so just got the Bthomehub, easy peasy stuff I also tried getting someones Wii to pick up a wireless signal form another netgear, I spent a good 45 minutes entering codes and checking error codes on the nintnedo site and trying the solution but the blasted thing still wouldnt work, despite my Bthomehub picking up both the Wii and xbox 360 and the PC highly recommended although it requires u to switch providers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I bought a netgear once, couldnt fathom how to get it working, so just got the Bthomehub, easy peasy stuff Netgear is such a hassle to set up that by the time you get it working, you'll never want to use the internet again. Saying that, I've still got it...and I'm on the internet now, which pretty much makes this a pointless contribution.Don't get a Netgear.

scottyboy Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I had a netgear, I think, which was also a massive pain in the arse to get working. At least, for the computing student I had to get to set it up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Mac Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yeah, I was trying to sort out problems with the girlfriends netgear in her flat at the weekend. They are a shambles.I think i'm gonna go with the linksys. Has always been straightforward to set up when i've helped other people before.

Hugh_Jazz Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Mine's a D-Link router.....got it in PC world. Was cheaper than the Netgear equivalent. I use the router with a Belkin internal wi-fi PCI card. Never had any problems with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Mac Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I actually was given a netgear router for nothing at the weekend.And picked up a wireless pci card.....Dum, dum, dum.... it actually worked.I was shocked and amazed.
