| 1366167 | 2014-01-26 08:06:00 | Greetings What is a good router for home wifi use ? Setting up a new install .. a laptop , couple of cellphones, tablet. Is the standard telecom router issued okay ? Running off standard telecom homeline broadband. No major gaming or video usage envisaged. Thanks |

Quite often after loading up a few devices the load will either kill it, or DHCP will stop giving leases... Go future proof yourself and head in the direction of like a DrayTek DV2760n, or of you're a tinkerer you could go for a DV130, then a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND running Gargoyle firmware 😀 |

| 1366174 | 2014-02-02 01:58:00 | I have received the standard Telecom issue Thomson TG582N. So far so good 6 units operating off wifi .. low level |

| 1366175 | 2014-02-02 04:26:00 | I'd go with the Thomson unless you find it doesn't do what you need. Save money that way... :lol: | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1366176 | 2014-02-02 08:15:00 | Just stick with Telecom's if it's not giving you any problems. Of course, if you've extra money to spend, that's a different story. I've many friends using Telecom's free router without any problem. |
