Mine is running great now, got my router set up again. it seemed to just come on by itself. I had to tinker a little bit so couldn't explain what i done to get it working. Tec bloke that come out to fit the modem didn't help much but he did offer to call round if i needed him. getting 9mb on the hard wired desktop and only 5-6 on the wireless laptop. My question is.. with the laptop being wireless, is that why it only gets 5-6mb. i use a USB dongle which came with my router, i read that usb can only reach certain speeds so would a pccard be better than the usb? In all honesty 5-6 is fine but i am just curious.
