| 877826 | 2010-04-18 22:19:00 | I'm currently using the Thomson TG585v7 that Telecom has provided me for free with the big time broadband . I've been having problems with it lately and thinking of changing it (probably sometime this week) . During the day, my internet disconnects and the router restarts itself (I'm not sure if it's Telecom's fault or the router but it can be a hassle . I read Chilling Silence's blog on the "right router" and recommended the NetComm NB6Plus4Wn and this is a question to Chilling Silence or anyone else if this is still a fast and reliable router . . wordpress . com/2009/11/23/the-importance-of-a-good-router/" target="_blank">chillingsilence . wordpress . com . co . nz/index . php?item=MODNCM1065" target="_blank">pbtech . co . nz I might go to PB Tech sometime this week and buy it as it is a decent price for a router . The one's I saw at JB Hi Fi, DSE etc are way overpriced!! Cheers |

| 877828 | 2010-04-18 22:53:00 | It's a brilliant router, and PB have a good price on it . You can't go wrong . Thanks for the quick reply . When Telecom stated that the Thomson router was worth $199, I was like :stare: Any more reviews to the NETCOMM NB6PLUS4Wn Router would be helpful . I'll also let you guys know how it goes . |

| 877829 | 2010-04-18 22:54:00 | Anyone here (and that's quite a few people) who own one will tell you the same thing. And yeah, $199 for that thompson is a rip! :badpc: | wratterus (105) | ||
| 877830 | 2010-04-18 23:16:00 | It wasn't a terribly well known router (from what I can gather) just 6 months ago, but after a bit of recommendations here others seem to have cottoned on to the router and now there are many happy people out there with it. Aside from the fact it's got N-Wireless, it's great because it's far more reliable than any of the other routers that ISP's give away, and it's certainly the most reliable N-Router I've seen (Personally ...). I sold my Thomson on TradeMe for $70, felt bad because even at that price I got this niggling sense I was ripping the person off :-/ |

| 877831 | 2010-04-19 00:51:00 | With the NETCOMM NB6PLUS4Wn Router, will it make a difference to my connection speed? PB Tech state that the router is "a powerful ADSL2+ router capable of delivering a high speed broadband Internet connection. It says that it is a fully featured 300Mbps wireless router. Will I be limited to 54Mb/s or should it increase and is the Thomson TG585v7 a G or N Wireless? |

| 877832 | 2010-04-19 02:23:00 | The netcomm is Wireless N - so if you have Wireless N devices, you will notice a speed increase when working over the network. Weather the router you choose has wireless N or not makes no difference to ADSL speed, altho the netcomm is good in this area too. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 877833 | 2010-04-19 02:26:00 | It's worth noting that in my experiences when I've test (twice now) vs a TG585v7 that the sync speed has increased by up to 2m/bit (From 12 -> 16m/bit) when using the NetComm NB6Plus4Wn router. Apparently this is due to the chipsets they use for ADSL, though YMMV and I wouldn't take that as an "always assumed" ... |

| 877834 | 2010-04-19 21:41:00 | I checked on my laptop and it says on device manager that I have a Atheros Wireless LAN 802.11a⁄b⁄g⁄n. So will I be able to use the full functionality of N-Wireless? |
