| 792393 | 2009-07-17 02:58:00 | Linksys (www.pbtech.co.nz) is pretty good, but its only a 4 port. | ronyville (10611) | ||

| 792396 | 2009-07-17 03:21:00 | Are you using bb with Woosh or wireless? Woosh Wireless via their PPOE Wireless modem Cheers EDIT: those to routers are looking pretty good - i take it you can disable the wireless? as i dont plan to make use of it |

| 792397 | 2009-07-17 03:25:00 | Hmm i wouldnt trust their wireless. It probably wouldnt handle 3 pcs's let alone an Xbox. It'd be flaky | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 792398 | 2009-07-17 03:49:00 | Hmm i wouldnt trust their wireless. It probably wouldnt handle 3 pcs's let alone an Xbox. It'd be flaky indeed this is my thinking too im sorta going with the flow at the moment - ill get them a router and if it proves problematic there not much else we can do as all we can get is woosh >_< then again it might be ok - brother only wants runescape and my parents want trademe and e-mail the 360 if it does appear shouldnt be too bad? bar software updates ect it shouldnt harass the connection that much? |

| 792399 | 2009-07-17 04:01:00 | Well if the Xbox hasnt been updated (and it updates thru wireless) and the connection dies, it'd probably kill the Xbox. If it stops and you turn it off. Altho you can download a zip file with the Xbox update. It may still be too laggy playing anything on the Xbox (if you play online) with Woosh |

| 792400 | 2009-07-17 04:01:00 | I've shared a Woosh Wireless connection (with up to 7 concurrent users) using a wireless router before - it's fine so long as nobody tries doing any P2P, or streaming video. Basic web browsing, email, and so on works ok. | somebody (208) | ||
| 792401 | 2009-07-17 04:54:00 | Cheers for your help with this guys i should be all sorted to get this working :thumbs: | MAC_H8ER (5897) | ||
