| 1388941 | 2014-11-25 07:15:00 | Hi im thinking of replacing my old Thompson Modem Router because i find Thompson not being a good router , so im thinking replacing it . Also i play games on my ps3 online , i have noticed alot of times the Thompson Modem Router goes into like a freeze mode i call it where the only power light comes on and flashes but it doesn't go all the way up to Internet . What i have to do is power it off , and turn it back on , that fixes it . So can anyone who can help me out here , including gamers who play online games , can tell me what modem router should i be looking at - please if can put a link to show me the modem and router . |

I can't get a Thomson router to stay up for more than 30 seconds on my home network. Are you looking for an "All in one"? Do you have ADSL2+ or VDSL2? |

| 1388944 | 2014-11-26 02:28:00 | I think the routing load is what stresses out cheap modem/routers, under light usage some people have no issues with them. I use a spark supplied technicolor (which I believe is what Thomson changed their name to and is the same manufacturer?). But it's in bridge mode and an asus router is doing most of the work. Mine's been stable since I set it up before Xmas last year apart from 2 instance when it was actually the asus that spat the dummy and I tend to game while streaming a video or hosting a group skype call and often downloading in the background as well. Effectively my Technicolor router is just a modem. | dugimodo (138) | ||

| 1388947 | 2014-11-26 07:43:00 | im thinking of this modem router from Netgear - www.trademe.co.nz , not sure if it is a good choice but i think this would be better than Thompson , also can anyone tell me will switching from "Spark" to any other Internet Provider , will it help if yes , can u name me a company thanks . | AppleFan (17097) | ||
| 1388948 | 2014-11-26 20:15:00 | I have one of those but only for about 3 months buts its ok so far, I paid about 290.00 for mine | PeterQ (16315) | ||
| 1388949 | 2014-11-26 20:57:00 | Snap are very good... I personally am not much of a fan of Netgear stuff, but in theory it should be fine. If you want wireless AC and a decent All-in-one I would get the Asus DSL-AC68U, if you don't need AC get the Asus DSL-N55U, or get something like the Draytek DV-130 and use it with a TP-Link Archer C5 AC1200.... Or get any Draytek all in one... www.pbtech.co.nz Has anyone used one of those yet? Any good? |
