Is this router any good?
 

Me = clueless

I'm assuming it must be cos of the original price but that could be lies!

I am only on 10m but my v.old Netgear router isn't doing the job even after a firmware upgrade.

I won't spend anymore than that, and would prefer it to be less tbh.



(p.s how do i get one off Virgin anyway? That'd be even cheaper lol!)

Re: Is this router any good?
 

That is a good price for that router and by far the cheapest for that model if you google it.

You can try calling Virgin about getting a router of them but they may require you to upgrade to another package to be entitled for one.

There is an old review here which reads pretty good.
It's not the latest tech, but for £25 you can't go too far wrong.
Afaik, us 10Mb customers can't get a free modem unless we upgrade.

For that price I would go for it as to go cheaper you are looking at the likes of TP Link and you do not want to go there.

Thanks for the replies, i've just realised it's not free delivery so i'm not impressed...

No chance of me upgrading my BB if anything i want to cut my services a bit cos i'm getting fed up of paying them £60 a month

why not? Ive used a number of TP link wireless N routers with no issues.

If you head over to eBay, there's a second-hander at £15 (with postage) ending in five hours.
Others for £26 (inc. postage).

(Note: "Refurbished" = "Second Hand")

Spec have you got a link please?

Re: Is this router any good?
 

Sent you a PM.
Not sure if it's a good idea (or allowed) to post eBay links in the forum.

Thank you, i think i'll go for the refurb then cos it saves £12 by the time i paid ebuyer's p&p.

I'm a bit confused about what this means (red)
.Is it a proper router or is it meant to just boost my existing one? Or both?

Re: Is this router any good?
 

Yep, you can use it as a regular router.

Re: Is this router any good?
 

It just means you don't have to upgrade the adapters in your PC / Laptop.

:dunce: Ahh I see, thanks :tu:

Re: Is this router any good?
 

Because you get what you pay for which is why they are so cheap and the only way to get support from them is online as they have no call centres, which may be an issue if you have a problem with them.

Sounds like Virgin, send u to Netgear lol ;)
