Hi Am very new to this so pls be patient I currently use a laptop with a wireless LAN card and the above router which works fine - I had this set up for me by a friend so am not too familiar with how he did it but understand the basics.

Wall mountable Netgear ADSL (no wireless) router. Does such a thing exist? The DG834 doesn't appear to be. Thanks, Rupert

I'm looking for a replacement PAYG for my teenage daughter, so have been 'shopping' around on the net for some deals. However, I haven't been able to resolve www.orange.co.uk (or .com) all day today, and was wondering if anyone else had issues? I've tried a TRACERT, but that just says site can't be resolved....

Hi there, I recently switched from NTL to onetel and have installed their software and I am using there USB modem. The problem I get is that sometimes it connects and at others it does not. On further examination it appears that it always connects to the server but sometimes fails to verify my userid/password. It appears that this occurs mostly at peak times so I suspect that the server is...

I live in a very rural location and my exchange is going to be activated 31/12/2005 http://www.samknows.com/broadband/search.php?page=0&direction=DESC&order=enabled does this mean I'll be able to get any broadband provider, or will I have to use a local "connected communities" scheme, which is rather poor value compared to other providers?

According to my new 3com wireless router, I have 7db attention on my line. I'm assuming from what I seen online, that is a good figure. I ask as, I was concerned some time back due to drop outs, that my ADSL line wasn't very good. Since I have the new router, its the first time I've been able to check the attention. Incidentally, the line was noisy, and although BT said there was...

I have a cordless telephone (BT Quartet 1100) plugged into the master socket in the lounge via a microfilter. My modem (Origo ASR-8000) is connected to the telephone line in the spare room upstairs through an ADSL-Nation filtered faceplate. When the modem is switched on there is an audible buzz on the telephone when making calls. As soon as the modem is switched off the buzz goes...

Hi all, I have noticed an improvement in tiscali speeds over the last few days, but what is happening now is that some web sites wont download at all. I am wondering if this may be down to my computer set-up. This site in particular is a pain to download www.pprune.com where as before it was fine, there are others as well, including the BBC web site. Any ideas?

Ben Brown has made the post quoted below to the Plusnet portal forums confirming that mail bounces will be lost for mail sent via the Plusnet servers which does not reach it's intended destination. This will include emails sent via the PN mail servers from the ccgi platform. As you can see he doesn't expect this to be fixed until the new year. He considers it is low priority so I don't...

Zen's binary newsgroup service is pretty good with a lot of completion though you still need your par files. The retention is only a few days but that's enough. Are there any other ISPs with premium-quality binary newsgroup access built in?

Hi, I received the email, quoted below, from my ISP (Pipex) back in September which informed me that BT could not upgrade my line for 1Mb "at this time". I was wondering if anyone else may have received such a letter and has sucessfully challenged it and got their service upgraded later. Thanks in advance Steve Harvey

Does the Network Card matter? Are some better than others? I'm trying to track down ADSL problems and inconsistencies - and it has just occurred to me that a particular NIC might possibly be relevant. It is a Netgear FA331, which was given away free when I bought my first Netgear DG834 router. It may (or may not) be affecting the noise margin.

Hello, Since last Thursday night, almost a whole week, my BTYahoo adsl connection has been offline. Not due to the adsl being down but no ppp negotiation. Prior to last Thursday night everything was working okay. I'm right on the fringe of what is considered by BT as a adsl capable line which is helped by the use of an Origo ASR8400 router instead of the BT supplied Alcatel Speedtouch USB...

We have a DSL-G624M which was operating fine with the default LAN IP address of 192.168.1.1 We needed to change this setting to 10.0.0.1 to suit our existing network plan. When the IP address is changed using remote management, the LOG file notes this change, and the DHCP server updates the scope to the 10.0.0.1 range which is fine, BUT, the STATUS still shows 192.168.1.1 and the LAN page...
