Re: 50Mb areas
Just checked online and now available in Rainham, Essex as well.
Not sure whether to order or not now, after reading numerous threads on here, it seems people are having quite a few issues.

Yes but then you will not get 50Mbit. Wireless N does not support WEP - only wireless G and B

That's OK as my main PC is wired, I use wireless for family laptop, Wii and work VPN so not bothered getting 50Mbit on those!
Thanks for the info.

Re: 50Mb areas
[quote=on in an hour!;34736805]as the 50meg installs are all manned in-house (at the mo) we have had a supply of modems and routers sent directly to the service managers,we are dishing these out to the techs as and when they get the installs assigned to them,so there should be no waiting.we are (if required by sub) setting these up for customers as well

nearly right john,its the wireless-N dongle that has the throughput issues,( i posted the same as you in another thread,wrongly as it turns out!)drivers are being worked on by netgear and all 50meggers should get a mail to let them know where to get the free download |
Ok, good to know that, but when connecting directly to the modem, D/L is regulary at 48-49Mb, via ethernet via the router, D/L drops to 37-38Mb. Haven't measured wireless as yet
(Sorry for the thread hijack)
