Well bb31 took the plunge with Ebuyer and they are delivering on Thursday. Wish us luck cos we are both :dunce: but Stuartbe I know where you are (again) :D

Thanks to everyone for the good advice :tu: think we may have some :beer: the night before to get in the spirit of things :drunk:

I'm just going to ring her now :rofl:

I would have thought you could do a LOT better than £160 for an ADSL Router kit from Ebuyer - unless you're also networking PC's for file transfer, 802.11b is plenty - and actually, at 11 Megabit, it's still as fast as original ethernet, though probably with higher overheads.

oh no dont tell me!!! this is what im getting anyway:-

Item: Dlink DWL-G650+ 54mbps 802.11g Wireless CardBus Card

Item: Dlink 54mbps Wireless ADSL Router
Qty: 1
Cost: £79.50

Item: Dlink Wireless Pci Adapter - 54mbit Ieee 802.11g External
Qty: 1
Cost: £27.49

Re: This was the scene earlier.......
 

Not so bad for a router plus 2 - I was thinking of my friend's setup, they only have one machine, a "desktop replacement laptop". And with 2 machines, the 54Mbit 802.11g has a bit more point.

Could have shaved a bit less than a tenner off with the Belkin (Adsl modem with 802.11g router) at £70.74 ... what happened to all the cheap 802.11b ADSL kit?

Belkin 54G Wireless NoteBook Adapter - at £24.62

Dynamode 54 Mbps PCI Wireless Lan - Adapter - at £22.53


All those are including VAT - I think the ones you list are EXCLUDING


Mind you, Belkin don't get a lot of praise for manuals and tech support - I guess you might be doing a bit better with D-Link on that score.



I always search Ebuyer that same way....
Find category, show all products, sort by price, pick the first one that has the features, is in stock, and doesn't get lousy reviews - in some cases, I may go to the website, and check that firmware is available (if appropriate) and download the manual to read first.

Re: This was the scene earlier.......
