Seymour, thanks for the info, if I cant find a wireless router, I'll keep your offer in mind regarding the spare routers ;-)

The Netgear DG834PN Router ADSL Modem is a wireless router modem. You just need to connect it by itself.

rich,
i think you will need a CABLE router,pipex is ADSL,
if you can use a router and ethernet,you will not loose bandwidth,
i have just run a ethernet cable from my router to downstairs lounge,
i too have NTL now VIRGIn 20 meg,with the PC's next to my router i get 19 meg all the time,with my lappy on wireless i get about 10 meg,so using ethernet cable from router should be much better,just need to get my techy guy to connect up,

scussy

Virgin / NTL say you must only use their modem so you then need to connect this into a router.

scussy, Haystack and Seymore thanks ;-)

We unplugged the Virgin Cablemodem and tried plugging the connections from that into the Netgear DGG834PN but they wouldnt fit, wrong type of connections, :-( So I must need a different Wireless Router for a Cable modem any recommendations??

reviewNetgear WPN824 router is what iam using,
try here http://www.microdirect.co.uk/
make sure the router is for CABLE and not adsl when u buy

Scussy, thanks

Is there any difference between Netgear WPN824 and Netgear WPN824UK and are they both 108mbs

just dug my box out,i cannot see anything about the UK one on the box,sorry,
here is some customer views on the NETGEAR wpn824 UK
what it does say is, to get the max performance ues with a rangemax wirless adapter,which i dont,thats why i only get the 54 mbs and maybe the loss of download speed, you can see the adapter here
so it looks ok but you might need to get the USB adapter for the best results,

scussy thanks ;-)

Stable try this site

I use bitdefender and it works with level 2 ,but the settings for one computer are slightly different .I have one with the firewall disabled and Zone alarm in its place.The other works with the full setup and no problems with the speed of l2.A month's trial is free if you buy use the USA site for price.

Thks for suggestion, I am sure that there must be a cure for the Kaspersky problem, As I have only just purchased it I do not want to make a change without exploring all ideas.

David,

Take a screen shot (press print screen button above your cursor keys and then paste it into a word document and print it off.

Ian

Control alt pribt screen

Start, accessories, paint, control V.

That's how I'd do it,

I've switched over to Sky Max Broadband (excellent so far !) and the wireless router is defaulted to WPA security. It also gives me the option of WEP with a bit of playing around.

Which is best? Any disadvantages with going for the most secure which I suppose is the obvious choice?

I was going to ask this, plus a couple more comments, on the 'best ISP provider' thread. What's happened to it? Am I going blind? I certify that a) I have looked at 4 pages of threads (twice). b) I have my glasses on, c) I've used the Search facility and d) not had any alcohol for at least 12 hours. Still can't find it. Has it been pulled?

Bolshi,

Is this the one you are looking for?

Ian. No. That one was last updated July 2006!

Bolshi

The only downside of using WPA security is that you would not be able to use any older devices that only use WEP.

WEP security can be cracked fairly easily.

Bolshi,

This one?

Bolshi re WEP/WPA, the answer is WPA as its secure, WEP is almost useless.
