    Be warned that if you have a less than perfect telephone line you could be in for no end of trouble, I went onto 8meg ADSL max and at best got 6meg but often it just wouldn't sync at all, in the end I decided to go back to bog standard 2meg which has been rock solid.

    Can you see line stats on your router? If the attenuation is < 40db and your SNR is > 6db then you should be ok.

    I wouldn't bother if you're happy with what you've got.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        Netgear Router

        I have also found that upgrading the Netgears firmware, will help stabilise the connection. On original firmware, I was getting 7mb, but regulary dropped the line, on the latest firmware, its been up for over two months with no drops.
