Re: New Installation
Hi again, got my Broadband put in on Thursday. The installer actually turned up right on 12PM (quoted times were between 12PM and 6PM!). I expected the MODEM to be a lot bigger, but it's tiny in comparison to the ones that were around 4 or 5 years ago.
I also managed to install my wireless network on the same day, and found that you can still transfer your details via WI-FI, using the NTL CD, rather than having a physical connection between the PC and MODEM, via ethernet cable.
Setting up was a doddle as i forked out just over £250 for some decent Buffalo kit. It consists of the following:
Buffalo Airstation MIMO WZR-G108 Router
Buffalo Airstation MIMO WLI-CB-G108 PCMCIA Laptop Card
Buffalo WLI2-PCI-G54S PCI Adaptor
A decent CAT.6 compliant ethernet cable.
As all the equipment uses Buffalo AOSS (Airstation One-touch Secure System), it's really easy to set up a secure connection to the router, plus the signal coverage is excellent. It's amazing what you get if you fork out a little more for some above average kit - makes life a lot easier when it comes to setting the equipment up (especially if you are a novice like me).
