I think there was a thread some weeks ago about turning the firmware-butchered Sky badged 834GT back into a regular Netgear DG834GT ?? Was it just a case of doing the normal Netgear flash with the current firmware or are there any Gotchas?? TIA Tim..

Hi does anyone have any ideas why I am getting dropped/cut outs in broadband when connected through a Router but not when I plug the Ethernet cable straight into the Ethernet/Network socket on PC? More details: Dell Vostro PC - windows xp professional. D-link DI-524 but I have tried 2 other new routers different makes (Philips & Sweex),

my default gateway is 192.168.0.1 why does my router also state that I have a default gateway of a.b.c.1 where a.b.c.d is my (or the router's) WAN IP? thanks

Dear All I have the above gear, and while I can connect to the internet via the adsl2+ modem when I try via the router I can't. I have read that the adsl2+ modem I am using doesn't support 'NAT'. What I need to do is set the router as DHCP and disable the modems DHCP (by selecting the full brdige rfc option) comments and suggestions wellcome Neil Morris

I've been trying for hours to follow up a post in another thread. An earlier attempt to start a new thread also failed. Yet, test posts to scot.test, rec.puzzles.crosswords, uk.telecom.broadband all succeeded. Obviously I must be doing something very stupid! But what? -- Angus Rodgers (twirlip@ eats spam; reply to angusrod@) Contains mild peril

I have one of these devices and all the reviews say that they get around 3 MB per second transfer which they say is still slow. However I cant get anymore that 1MB per second transfer. All my PC's have GB ethernet and my router 10/100MB. The network is connected through 85MB power socket ethernet plugs. Can anyone suggest why I am getting such an awful speed Thanks

Nice site for Christmas deals.Discover key deals and specials at a site that had tons of retailers and services at http://www.christmasplayland.com ..There is also a nice job search section as well that really helped me.

One final (I hope!) newbie question: Today, I started trying to set up my new LAN and ADSL connection, using a Netgear router*. Mostly, it's going OK. To my surprise, my daughter's WinXP laptop is fully visible on the LAN, for the first time (unlike the times I tried to connect it to my Win98SE desktop using a crossover cable). Both my Win98SE machines also continue to be visible on the LAN...

I have Virgin broadband. As I need a new wireless router, I thought it would be nice to reduce the number of cables/plugs and get a combined modem/router. Although the virginmedia website list a few ASDL modem/routers, it is unclear if they will work on my current (ex NTL) connection. Can someone please clarify? Many thanks,

Any recommendations/experiences with NAS devices for a home network ?

Dear All I have a virgin.net internet account on the bt phone line, I got the thomson speedtouch 330 modem though the post but really want to use the above equipment that I alreally got. Though I have lost the set up CD to ny router has anyone successfully connected to the internet with netgear router and adsl modem?

Hi: I'm confused about if this device will run on Linux. Some sources say you can, others say M$ only. Has anyone here used it with Linux? TIA Hugh --

Has anyone experience or recommendations for a dual-WAN router? I've read some pretty horrendous reviews on Netgear and Edimax. Not seen anything either good or bad on Draytek Vigor. My needs are pretty basic - want to run a couple of simple servers unattended with fail-over between two WAN access lines. Load balancing would be nice but fail-over is primary need. If the WANs have dynamically...

Does anyone know if there is a device which can take the input from the AV video output cables from a video device such as a DVD recorder and convert the signal to ethernet so I can route the video signal to another part of my house through the ethernet power adaptors? Thanks Russell

My Belkin wireless ADSL router packed up and I bought a new one, the same model. It connects fine, and reports a slightly higher down speed (eg 1216) than the old one; but I notice that streaming video (eg Youtube) and downloadable video (from education sites) (that's not a euphemism) is much slower - stop/start, buffering all over the place, etc. This is on the main, first computer, to...

I have my Netgear modem router connected via network cable to PC, running lovely. Laptop runs wirelessly through inbuilt wireless connectivity. My dilemna is that I want the router in another room, not directly connected to PC but stand alone. How do I go about doing this? I have a wireless adapter to use on the desktop and also I have (but not installed) a Belkin wireless PCI card for the...

If I install a second D-Link DWL2000AP and set it up as a repeater, can I take a netowk cable from the back of the repeater and access the net at this point? I suppose what Im asking is, as well as it being a repeater, can it be used to supply internet to a fixed PC with a LAN cable? Thanks Barrie

Has anyone used the devices that plug into a 13A mains socket and provide an ethernet connection. i.e.plug one into a lounge socket connected to a computer and one in a socket ajacent to the broadband router connected into a spare ethernet port. Do they work ? Can you easily move them around ? Can you switch them off when not in use and know they're going to work when turned back on?

I am experimenting with internet connection using a mobile phone and bluetooth. I appreciate the range of BT limits the security issues but am wondering what precautions other users implement. Would anyone trust banking transactions via Bluetooth. Geoff Lane

Hi, I currently have one DWL2000AP installed and working as an access point, but would like to introduce a second one to the system that would be linked via wireless only to give internet access to a computer at the same location as the second AP, plus to hopefully extend coverage of wireless access around the remote loation. Is this posible and how can it be done? Thanks a lot. Barrie
