1252877	2012-01-08 00:44:00	Hi All. We have a problem with our wireless router, I think. Our set up is like this. ADSL2 into Orcon Netgear DM11PUSPv-SSL. It is a singlw socket out put into...................... A Belkin G Wireless Router with 4 sockets out.This appears to have died, no internet. If I connect my PC directly to the Netgear, I can get Internet. If I connect the Netgear to the Belkin I get nothing, Not wired or wireless. So I am thinking the Belkin is not working. What to do for the best.? Leave the Adsl2 Netgear alone & replace the 4way Belkin? Or Get a single 4 way Modem/Router. And which one. Thanks PJ	Poppa John (284)
1252878	2012-01-08 01:52:00	Go for the Netcomm NB6Plus4Wn, should sort those issues ;)	Chilling_Silence (9)
1252879	2012-01-08 04:55:00	Go for the Netcomm NB6Plus4Wn, should sort those issues ;) Checked Internet, Harvey, Dick & Noel, none of them have a Netcomm. What is your next best, all have much the same brands & models. Thanks. PJ	Poppa John (284)

1252881	2012-01-08 05:26:00	[QUOTE=Snorkbox;1069918]Try here PJ. www.ascent.co.nz Thanks for that info. I have just had the sense to test the 5 volt 1 Amp DC power supply. DEAD. So the Belkin might still be ok. I will take it down town & see if I can get another one.PJ	Poppa John (284)
1252882	2012-01-08 05:52:00	Dammit...I am wrong. I was testing on the wrong meter scale. The little tranny is ok, so it must be the Belkin. PJ	Poppa John (284)
1252883	2012-01-08 10:50:00	I bought my Netcomm modem/router (an NB6Plus4W ADSL+ because it has a USB port which is useful for networking a printer) from PC Tronix in Auckland about 12 months ago - not sure if they have branches elsewhere. PB Technologies probably also have them. To do a price survey try pricespy.co.nz or http: - you might find a source in Wanganui which allows pickups which can speed up problem resolution if needed.

1252884	2012-01-08 19:06:00	Yup, PBTech definitely do. In fact, I spoke with a few of the guys and told them several stories etc, about the quality of them, and now they've got this on their site: pbtech.co.nz Throw away the free modem that given by your ISP, use this one instead, all problems will go away, no more Connection drops, enjoy your fast connection which you deserve to get. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed - If you're not satisfied with this product you purchase from us you can return it to us for a full refund with in 14 days. we are confident to give you this promise simply because this unit is the best in the market. :D	Chilling_Silence (9)

I have had no problems with the old modem and only upgraded to get wireless for new laptop. The old modem was connected to an 8-port switch and then to main computer, TV, Wii, and a spare lead to old laptop. The new set-up is the same except I have shifted the main computer from the switch to the modem. Connection speed on Speedtest.net is 4.8-5.5Mbs. Doesn't seem to have changed with new modem. What, if any, improvement could I get by using the Netcomm NB6Plus4Wn? It would be a bit unfair to put it to the test by getting one from PB and then using their "100% Satisfaction Guaranteed" option if it wasn't likely to give a worthwhile improvement.	b.... (7683)
1252886	2012-01-08 21:55:00	Very unlikely to give any improvement as several TC Thomson modems I have used all give very good download speeds. Are you on ADSL2+? Check your sync speed within the modem - you don't appear to be very close to the exchange/cabinet or you have cabling problems. I get 14.5 Mbps down on a V7 Thompson modem.	linw (53)
