[Merged] Routers and 10Mb
After finally managing to convince the peeps at ntl that I had a good reason for moving to 10mb early my worst fear has been confirmed.
My 4 port router is not capable of handling a 10mb connection on the WAN port, I presume because they have only designed that port to be 10M half duplex.
(I have tested the connection direct to my PC with zonealarm free installed and downloaded the same test file I used with the router installed and managed a solid 1.1Mb per second)
So, on to the list:
Router Name: SMC Barricade SMC7004BR UK.
Router Firmware: R1.96h2.
Typical throughput with 10Mb: 450-600Kb per sec.

Cheap wired ORIGO 4 Port Router with USB Print Server Port.
10/100 auto-switching, works great.

Re: List your router & whether it works with 10mb
I have a Belin 4 Port Wireless thing (11mbit) which def has a 10mbit port
The SMC 4 Port BR thing - Also 10mbit port
Went out and Bought a Linksys Wireless router 54g and that had written on the box the specs 10/100mbit WAN port. Bascially if your out buying one - check the box as it should tell you..

Re: List your router & whether it works with 10mb
Lol, there are slight differences between the 7004 BR and the 7004 ABR (one difference I can remember is that the printer port is uni-directional on the BR model while it is bi-directional on the ABR.) 
The router does work with the connection in that it doesn't crash out or anything, I just don't get the full speed that I get if I connect the modem directly to the PC.
