| 791695 | 2009-07-15 02:29:00 | lol. How much do you want to spend? The Dlink G604T Gen 2 is Ok (what I'm using). Was about 130 when I got it. Havent had any probs so far. May pay to update the firmware if its not up to date tho. Then (at least) I'll be able to tell you how to set the Xbox up | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 791696 | 2009-07-15 02:38:00 | $100-150 at most , i see dse have their own branded one for $119. the one you have speedy is for sale at dse for $219. |

| 791697 | 2009-07-15 03:07:00 | Is DSE the only store in Porirua ! Mmm thats a bit steep, the shop I got this from the price for it is still 130. That was nearly 2 yrs ago. You could try the DSE one, it looks like it supports ADSL2 / +. Hopefully, its got a DMZ option on it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 791698 | 2009-07-15 03:15:00 | I assume you want a 3-in-one, eg ADSL2+ modem, 4 port switch and wireless? You could maybe splash out you could get one of these (www.playtech.co.nz), they are excellent. I use one with Xbox live and anything else you can name with no hassles at all. This (www.computerlounge.co.nz)is a very sharp deal, although I've never actually used one, TPLink are a pretty solid brand, that one has a 3 year manufacturers warranty I believe. I think it would be better than a G604T, those TPLink routers have excellent wireless reception if you are after that. Otherwise maybe something like this (www.pbtech.co.nz)? |

| 791701 | 2009-07-15 03:29:00 | any advantage over the second one you suggested apart from the 'n' ? Probably not since you wont be using wireless. But if you wanted to use n, the other devices would have to be n as well. And theyre not cheap |

| 791702 | 2009-07-15 03:30:00 | ...any advantage over the second one you suggested apart from the 'n' ? It's a linksys - they are generally regarded as probably the best brand an average consumer can walk off the street and buy - however the TPLink would do everything you need just as well as the Linksys, and if you don't want wifi draft-n then there's not a lot of point getting the Linksys. It is a very smexy modem, but that alone isn't worth the best part of $100. :lol: I still haven't seen a dead TP Link router either. I'd say that TP Link router from ComputerLounge is the best deal round at the mo, and buying from ComputerLounge you cannot go wrong. |
