| 494998 | 2006-10-27 02:39:00 | I made a post before during the PF1 issues, it seems to have gotten lost. Anyway, I have an ex-Telecom 504G 4 port router/ADSL modem that I am wanting to replace. I know Warehouse Stationary sell D-Link and Netgear, and DSE sell their name brand. I assume none of these are good names. So... what are the name of some routers with a name for reliability, reasonable configurability and reasonably easy to set up (for small home network)? Also, I assume that I will have to buy from online as I don't think New Plymouth has any other vendors). If so, where would you suggest? Note: they must accept bank deposit |

| 494999 | 2006-10-27 03:50:00 | DLink and Netgear are both well known brands with a fairly solid reputation. I've had great performance from my US Robotics router. Linksys would be a good choice also. Pretty much all the online stores accept bank deposit, so check out some sites and see what looks good to you. I do a lot of my buying from Ascent. Their prices aren't always the cheapest but the service and free delivery certainly count for a lot. |

| 495002 | 2006-10-30 04:57:00 | Linksys is a division of Cisco, and would be my personal choice for SOHO networking gear. D-Link dont seem to be that great any more, but Netgear is fine. Havent had much experience with DSE gear sorry, but a friend has a US Robotics router and it seems to be fine. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
| 495003 | 2006-10-30 05:27:00 | I vote for US Robotics and I got mine from www.ascent.co.nz and they accept bank deposit and postage is free :) | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 495004 | 2006-10-30 05:39:00 | I had 3 US Robotics routers and all use to get hot and shut down. As a strait router they worked fine until you opened up the ports to allow bit torrent progams and to allow you to host games over the internet. They got so hot you could almost fry an egg on them. Now run a DSE XH 1169 router not a problem, it runs so cool you could keep a drink cool on it. Trevor :) |

| 495005 | 2006-10-30 05:59:00 | and DSE sell their name brand. I assume none of these are good names. No problems here with a DSE Router. Easily configured, does NAT, DMZ and Port Forwarding if needed, and with the standard DSE no quibbles warranty I'd recommend it. |

| 495007 | 2006-10-30 07:09:00 | Why is Billion the best by far Jack. Have you tried any other models. Trevor :) |
