Re: my router

AtW,

Well I am going to use it to connect to Blueyonder via the Webstar modem thingy, so I'll report back my findings.

Hopefully set it up tonight if the ball and chain goes out:

BT 1800HG hub

I recently bought one of those new BT 1800HG hubs for £79. It supports 10 wireless and four wired connections. Is that the kind of thing you are after?

It seems pretty fast, although I've only got one wireless on it at the moment. I've had no problems at all so far. It was easy to set up and just sits there and works 24/7.

I finally managd to find time to set it up, all 15 minutes it took.

Setup is really easy, if you are not security conscious then it'll work out of the box.

works like a dream albeit with 1 laptop using wirelss and WEP encryption and 1 PC hard wired.

The laptop connects (cranky old customer one) at 11 (umm something or others), and download speeds are still good.

LOL -- 10 wireless connections? Woahh, must be limited by good old BT :lol

Linux router that I am using is great --- ping dropped considerably from about 20 ms to www.bbc.co.uk to 13-14 ms -- this is great for online games.... sadly I have no time to play them anymore
