Sky bb router Netgear DG834GT and channels
Is there a firmware upgrade giving the router the full range of channels?
Default is 1-13, but my laptops can handle more (work's dell goes up to 140)
Or is there a firmware upgrade to force it to use 802.11a?

The Netgear DG834GT isnt a 802.11a Router.
It only supports B & G

How about getting more than 13 channels?

My laptops have access to more (ok the dell only had 11 but that was before I installed non-US drivers)
Hmm, will have to check out my dlink and see what that can do as it has non-UK firmware.

You can flash the firmware of the sky router with the netgear firmware for that router.
I think my problems with mine are settling down. I think Sky's dhcp was not assigning address's right. The Sky bloke tried to tell me that my pc would have a bearing on the router picking up an IP address from sky which is complete baloney.
