So you don't really know what you are talking about.
Expected.

Go to PC World and buy a Cisco Linksys gaming one (£160)

Doddle to set up, supports 5Ghz and N draft connections so nice and future proof. Also stable after you load the firmware updates on it.

Is that the E3000?

I think SY's lack of technical nous is being shown up here

I'm not the one with a D-Link router

I say PC World because they are local to me and I don't need to talk to the oompah loompas as I know precisely what I need before I walk in there. I also reserve it online so I get web prices.

You could of course do what you normally do and turn tricks down the docks then take your ill gotten gains to Cash Converters and hope you get lucky.

You nasty, evil bastard. Even sasguru doesn't deserve that.

I'd never have thought that of you.

PC World, indeed.

Cheap, lower end of the market. Certain moths have better life expectancies.

That doesn't explain why Apples don't like it, but Windows machines do.
I thought this was an IT forum, not some vague, woolly, arty-farty one.

What exactly is wrong with the Dlink?

Dlink.
Of course I've thought that could be the problem, but its only one of the many possibilities that I have to logically and metodically go through when i have time.

What make and model of router do you have?

Please say DLink so I can laugh at you.

We had Tiscali who were brilliant - till Talk Talk got their dirty mitts on them.
Left them a few months ago after intermittent t'internet and phone working.
Now on Virgin cable.
But IMACs seem to have a wireless connectivity problem with them

My landlord uses them and they are rubbish

Lots of dropped connections, rubbish routers that die quickly, IT support that involves talking to Bobs

I wouldn't use Talk Talk

Ahh Talk Talk - the company to run away from as quickly as possible.

I know people who have paid their contract in full to get away from the damn company early. <shudders>

Agreed, just received information on a compensation package from OTELO as I was caught up in the big national scandal case of TalkTalk billing after contract cancellation and then blaming it on their computer systems.

It got to the debt collectors taking me to court stage.

Unbelievable. I hope the company goes bust to be honest.

UPDATE: I've just received another email from TalkTalk demanding outstanding payments....FFS... looks like the case is still on!
