I have a Draytek 2600plus but find that a planned additional PC is located where the effort to install fix wiring would be massive task. A possible solution would be a HomePlug Ethernet Adapter system, but the end user feedback on this type equipment seems to be rather negative. So it's going to be wirless, however even that is not going to be all that straightforward. I could simply throw money...

Hello again, even when changing Lease times etc, each of the PC's on my LAN are disconnected from ADSL if the relevant PC is left idle for any length of time. I, and others, think the Router is causing this. It is likely that it is some setting I have done, so here are the settings as they are, hopefully something will be glaringly obvious: I use a D-Link DSL-604T Router, 1 PC hard wired, 3...

Tiscali have removed the 1Mb (30GB useage) option from their offerings - they seem to be going down with their service every week. At this rate they`ll be back to 'dial-up-only' soon.

Hi All, My exchange has recently been enabled and I have gone with Wanadoo at the 1M connection speed. It's working fine and I am happy with 1M. I have wondered if it may be possible to get higher speeds if an upgrade is offered at some time in the future. The figures from my router are as follows;- Down Up SNR 26.4 ...

Hi, I've just moved into a newly built flat and BT have informed me that they will charge £75 to install a new phone line even though there are already BT branded sockets in the flat. I do not live in a cable activated area and was wondering which other companies offer landlines for me to use to connect to ADSL and how much they charge for installation. I'm not bothered about call charges as I...

I migrated yesterday from Pipex 512 kb/s to PlusNet's 512kb/s (Plus option for £14.99 per month) with an order to regrade to the fastest possible speed. I can log into the intrnet with both pipex and plusnet ID's and Passwords yesterday both ISP's were working for me and I'd say PlusNet was a little quicker then Pipex at 512 kb/s I just got home and see I'm now connected at 2 mb/s and...

Hi, Do BT's presumptions about line length take precedence over the actual results when it comes to getting an upgrade? Can I request that the ISP submits the request manually, and that BT send out an engineer to do a calibrated line test if they aren't prepared to give it a try on the basis of the ISP's remote woosh test? ISP wooshed my equipment yesterday and the line appears to be...

I have a netgear all in one wireless router / modem and a belkin wifi router (no modem) both have 3 ethernet ports is it possible to have the netgear downstairs at the master socket where the telephone line signal is best and use the belkin upstairs to recieve internet wirelessly from the netgear and distribute on ethernet to 3 PC's upstairs?

I have acquired an out of contract 837 with modified firmware that was used for the original account. Is there any firmware available for download to restore this to its default settings? P.

Are Virgin still giving a free broadband modem to new broadband subscribers? In Virgin broadband faq it states "If you don't already have a broadband modem, you might like to buy our Broadband Starter Kit from our partner Thomson" Thanks

I recently switched from Pipex in the UK to PlusNet I was on 512 kb/s and then upgraded by plusnet to 2 mb/s connection Soon after I found the Net Gear DG834G I'd been using since December 2004 started to disconnect a lot, also the problem seemed to have gotten worse and worse with Noise db levels first showing figures of around 9db, then falling to 3db, etc I'd already upgraded to...

A few days ago I installed a Speedtouch 330 and converted my dial up to ADSL. It all went seamlessly and was up and running in minutes. No problems apart from disconnects whenever I stop using the connection for a few minutes. What's the likely cause? --

Anyone have any speed problems with the Netgear DG834 router? Got one the other day, but even when I'm the only computer connected to it I can only get about 30KB/s from the net. When I connect with the BT USB modem it gives me a steady 55kB/s. I have e-mailed Netgear, but they are slow replying. I am on a 512k BT Yahoo DSL line if that makes any difference. Thanks, Pete.
