Re: networking question
 

Linksys, D-Link ...

There are loads of brands that pretty much all do the same thing in my experience

Belkin 11/54g

I would also recommend Cisco or 3Com if you can afford it.
We supply it to all our big companies because it is so reliable.

SMC router, D-Link switch, Netgear hub.

Re: networking question
 

to be honest ive happily used dlink netgear usrobotics cisco/linksys and belkin and ive had the same amount of grief from all makes :) it seems routers etc these days just dont like being updated with latest firmware and spend their whole lifes restarting or soem other bug i had a new linksys that didnt have any web interface and ive had netgears that couldnt get a connection on dsl but a dlink could...of course the dlink then overheated :) anyway after about 5 years of buying networking gear and returning it id say Netgear cheap and cheerful :) so im not to fussed when they cock up (which they will)

Hmpf Jealeous now.. I thought I had a good home set up with my surestack hub and 2003 server.. me want more kit.

On another note, if people think routers are unreliable, why dont people, put there old windows 98 machine to good use and have that running ICS under the stairs or something.. surley wouldnt cost much more than a router to run, and you can simply restart it when it goes wrong...

Re: networking question
 

:D Sorry m8 - I dont know why people dont do this. I have found most of these home routers are unstable......

Hope you get more kit soon !!
