| 1280464 | 2012-06-07 22:03:00 | Our bband has been dropping out for the last 3 weeks,once a week. Happened again last night, and the tech from Xnet wondered if is my router. Dynalink RTA1025W. I think it's our line down our road.Had a fair amount of problems in the past. I have a direct feed from the inbox on our house to pc. Anyhow, a while ago this router was suggested as a good one in a long posting by Chilling Silence. The NetComm NB6Plus4Wn. Would you still recommend this Chill, or has your thinking changed ? Thought I might grab one as backup in case he's right. It'll go with the new UPS I had to buy as the old one karked it! Thanks. |

| 1280465 | 2012-06-07 22:47:00 | I bought one of those on chills reccomendation and it's been very reliable. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1280466 | 2012-06-07 22:47:00 | Absolutely. Just be sure it's the N version, not the G version. The N version has double the RAM, a faster CPU, and more reliable firmware. Any issues are people being cheap and getting the G version ;) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

| 1280469 | 2012-06-08 00:58:00 | I got myself a Draytek Vigour (I think that's how it's spelt) a few months ago. Hasn't dropped out even once. Has 4 port switch built in (can also get same with wireless). ADSL2+ compatible. Got it from Paradigm Computers. |

| 1280470 | 2012-06-08 01:38:00 | Yeh I'm a *big* fan of the Vigor stuff (As you'll notice on my blog) as well. However, it's a fair bit more expensive. My non-Wifi VDSL2 DV2750 cost me a few hundred bucks, let alone adding on Wifi... That said it's a pretty damn choice router! :D | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1280471 | 2012-06-08 03:11:00 | Thanks everyone.Are you saying that one of these www.pp.co.nz will be a better long term buy than the NetComm NB6Plus4Wn. Easy enough to configure? Just borrowed another 1025 so must plug it in now! |

| 1280472 | 2012-06-08 03:26:00 | Well,that didn't hurt too much! | Neil McC (178) | ||
| 1280473 | 2012-06-08 03:35:00 | The DrayTek products are brilliant, imo, but their interface is a little less user-friendly, and they are comparatively expensive. | inphinity (7274) | ||
