| 1161348 | 2010-12-13 07:06:00 | OK here is a question that shows my thickness when it comes to the internet and broadband. Currently using the telecom thomson tg576 which keeps dropping out.A friend has a netgear wgr614 v7 does this do the same as the thomson or does it need a modem. If it is OK to use is it worth making the change ? | Clod (7853) | ||
| 1161349 | 2010-12-13 16:06:00 | No, this would require a modem as well. I can vouch for the Netgear DG834 wireless router though. I have had it for about 4 years now without any issues. It could be other issues than your modem/router though. Have you asked your ISP to check your line? If not, ring them and get them to run diagnostics. | DaveBritton (7395) | ||

| 1161351 | 2010-12-13 19:00:00 | As DaveBritton said, that Netgear model you mentioned doesn't do ADSL, so you would still have to use an additional device alongside it. If you're going to replace it, look at a Netcomm NB6Plus4Wn. I'm with gary67, they're budget, ditch it ... :D |

| 1161352 | 2010-12-13 19:45:00 | Those Thompson routers from Telecom are cheap and they crap out real quick gary I can't say that from my little router/modem ST585. It has been working flawless for a few years. I have placed it on a large stone slab on a desk and never has overheated. |
