1193250 2011-04-09 23:31:00 Looking for the link to that site that ranks the PC retailers based on service and all that. Want to check the rank of Extreme PC for a friend before she goes off.

Also chilling, my belkin router's been throwing a huge number of shitties the past few days, what was that $180 router from PB tech (tp link was it?) that you keep recommending?
(Also anything a bit cheaper but not prone to overheating and bitching all the time? Wireless N isn't essential. G will do)

1193253 2011-04-09 23:52:00 In case the wonderful Chill is busy, one that he recommended, and the one that I bought, was the NetComm NB6PlusWn4 ADSL 2+, and I am really glad I bought it.

1193254 2011-04-09 23:56:00 I believe that's the one actually. Cheers. 8ftmetalhaed (14526)
1193255 2011-04-10 00:03:00 I believe that's the one actually. Cheers.

Note that PBTech have the infuriating habit of giving their prices ex GST, so don't get sucked in by the $159!

+1 for the Netcomm.
-1 for PBTech.

1193257 2011-04-10 00:35:00 I got no response to a sales enquiry to PBTech - must be three weeks now and still no reply - so I bought mine from Computer Store who have a nice person there called Gina. Gina went out of her way to source one for me from another supplier, because they were out of stock, and it arrived promptly via a decent courier (not Slowways thank goodness). From the invoice:

SKU NB6PLUS4WN
PRODUCT Netcomm ADSL2+ 11n Wireless Modem Router with 4 Ethernet ports
PRICE $150.93 + GST

I highly recommend Gina (I don't know anything about the rest of the staff at Computer Store!)

1193258 2011-04-10 03:41:00 Buy the router from anywhere, the router won't discriminate :p Chilling_Silence (9)
1193259 2011-04-10 08:50:00 I did find it at mighyape but I'd be scared of having it delivered and left outside.
I'll grab it from PB tech on tuesday morning and I'm also going to try return the old Belkin.

It's less than a year old and I bought it from them, so hopefully I can find the receipt and get it refunded, or at least some level of credit. Any idea on what I could expect from that? (would I be within my rights to request a refund or credit? Or would it be too long ago?)
