VM Sending new Wireless Router
 

Upgraded to 100M earlier today and i have since found out that my current Router Netgear WGR614v9 only goes up-to 50MB.

VM are sending me a new wireless router out i did ask which one but the technician stated he doesn't know but it will be either a Netgear or D-Link.

Does anyone know the model they send out for Netgear & D-Link.

Thanks.

Tanny

I'd expect you'll get a SuperHub.

I already have a SuperHub i was using the SH in Modem Mode with my Netgear wireless router which Virgin provided about 4 years ago.

Re: VM Sending new Wireless Router
 

Considering the warranty on the wireless routers only last 2 years, I'm surprised you are getting any form of replacement. If somehow you are, it might be a D-Link as those were the last standalone routers VM did

Re: VM Sending new Wireless Router
 

The Tech guy i spoke to surprised me and when i asked are you definitely sending me a replacement Wireless router and not another SH he was adamant that it will be a new Wireless router either netgear or D-Link.

Do you know what model number the D-Link they were sending out?

Re: VM Sending new Wireless Router
 

DIR-615 probably

Cheers Ben, Will let you know how i get on.

Re: VM Sending new Wireless Router
 

Well a DIR-615 only goes up to around 93Meg when I upgraded to 100Meg as it doesn't have Gigabit ports.

buy a decent router and refuse delivery of what VM have sent. itll get sent back but then again anything could happen to it with HDNL/Yodel

Re: VM Sending new Wireless Router
 

Can you recommended any good routers?

Re: VM Sending new Wireless Router
 

apart from 100meg and somewhat future proofing yourself. whats your networking needs?

Re: VM Sending new Wireless Router
 

Nothing just have 3 PS3 couple of smartphones and 2 laptops and 1 PC which is wired for downloads & uploads.

Re: VM Sending new Wireless Router
 

I thought that with VM you don't actually own the equipment, and that it is owned by VM?

If this is the case, then a warranty wouldn't apply.


It is very interesting to see that VM are sending out routers to people who are having problems with the wireless on the SH. Maybe they have had claims against them that the SH isn't fit for purpose as a wireless router. Can you shed any light on this Ben??

It's worth giving the router a go. After all, what have you got to lose?

Why refuse a free router even if you do not use it at least you have a spare.:rolleyes:
