WNR2000 not up to the task
I have been with VM 50mb virtually since Day 1. Until now I thought the WNR2000 Netgear router they supply was up to the job for home networking. True, the wireless connection is OK through 1 wall or a ceiling or two, but after that it is pretty poor. So, I have been using ex-BT powerline adaptors supporting 200mbs. I have also upgraded my PC ethernet card to gigabyte technology. However the WNR2000 only dishes out 100mbs. This is inadequate for multiple users and for video streaming from my network hard disc. (World Book 2Tb)

Good news! Well maybe. Netgear have just announced a gigabyte router with USB, perfect for working with my network HD, the WNR3500L . NETGEAR .

Question is: If I replace the VM supplied router with the new model, is the old router mine to sell on? Also are there any plans to upgrade the VM router ready for 10mb upstream? If so will it be the WNR3500L?
