I'm looking at upgrading my existing 11b wireless setup to increase speed and also to consolidate as I have two boxes at the moment. I'm after a decent crop of recent reviews? I'm looking at the D-Link DSL-G604T, to be used with Plusnet. Any issues? How does the signal strength compare to say the equivalent Netgear box? This is the sort of info I'd like. Any help appreciated.

I've been told that if I take my CLI with me when moving house that the down time - assuming ADSL can be supplied to the new address - is around 7 days. Has anyone has an activation time of less than 7 days when keeping the same CLI? Gareth.

My Italian brother who lives in Luxembourg has seen offered by the Luxembourg state post office a system of setting up your home internal network by piggy-backing on the house mains power supply. About euro100 per machine and thus no additional wiring network and no need to rely on dodgy wireless networks either. Anyone any knowledge or experience of this technology and its drawbacks?

I want to set up broadband on my BT line, but I'm only living at my present address for 4 months. Any ideas for an affordable short-term connection? The best I can find at the moment is Virgin (£24.99/month, £9.99 modem, free connection, no contract), but I've read a lot of bad reviews. Virgin claim that their service improved dramatically in January 2004, after a few months of problems... can...

It must be a month now since I signed up with Fast24 broadband and I still haven't even heard when they are planning to install the thing. They tell me they havent been given a date yet from their telco and when they do they will let me know. This seems a bit slow as AOL had me up and running in a couple of weeks when I had them before. Should I give up and sign up with someone else. It is...

Can anyone recommend some nice central london hotels that have internet access in rooms? Searching for hotels on the net isn't much fun I'm finding out :/ I wanna be as close to Tottenham Court Rd as possible. cheers

In recent weeks I've posted saying that plusnet are upgrading their news servers. It went live a bit ago, and has recently (the 12th) started to hit it's stride, though stumbling a bit yesterday. In terms of binary completeness, on a DVD and VCD group, a couple of times in the past few days (when things have been working) the binary completion has exceeded by several percent that of...

Hi all One of my clients has an existing btconnect dial up account and wishes to upgrade to broadband. Can she order a 'wires only' upgrade from BT? I have looked on the btconnect web site but can't find an answer. She wants to retain her existing address and doesn't really want to change provider for that reason.

Hi folks, I have some practical questions regarding signalling line, hope you could answer Does 30 simultaneous voice channel in a voice gateway means 30 telephones line from a Telecom Company?

Up until yesterday I have been able to access the URL below, but suddenly it appears that I have a problem gettiung to this URL. I have asked friends and colleagues to try from their ISP, and they can access the site, but from my connection with Tiscali, I can''t access it.

By latest I mean 1.01.7 ... When I bought my WAG54G I had firmware 1.01.5 - I may be going back to it if someone can confirm what I've seen with the latest firmware... Basically I had setup port forwarding to allow traffic through (TCP) on a particular port to a particular IP address in my internal network. I set this up as per normal from the router's web interface and I can confirm that...

Hi, my compters are connected by a LAN, the one that currently connects (dial up)has zonealarm on it. The connection is not shared. I want to move to broadband and have up to 4 computers connected. So: Am i better off getting a 4 port modem, which i presume i will then plug in to all my NIC's, i assume i will no longer need my network hub? Will i still be able to file share?

Hi, I'm sure you have all seen the new prices from Bulldog today...very nice.

Rang Customer services to see if it meant that my monthly fee would be going down...the answer was NO...I will continue to pay the amount I signed for, for the next year!!!!...

evening again, so, if you read my previous 2 posts you may know what my problem is - so if I only connect at ~33kbps yet the exchange is soon to be upgraded and my line legth is 5km, does the slow dialup speed mean there may be a problem in terms of getting broadband - the laptop i use connects at 46kbps+ at other properties. TIA
