[cite]Posted By: buckshee[/cite]need to get a 108mbps adsl wireless router as the one I got free with me internet is pony and keeps losing it's connection on my desktop .
Main requirement is something with a really good range and not mad pricey.
any ideas IT geeks?
If you see one you like, let me know as I can get them cheaper working for an IT firm, I'd recommend Zyxel 660hw / 662hw but it depends if you want straight wireless internet or you want to VPN to other places, I think these are about £80 - £120
Never ever buy anything from these clowns, last time I built a PC I bought the parts from here, both the GFX and sound card where both quite clearly second hand and everything arrived late.
On top of that they wanted to charge me £20 to replace the second hand stuff they sent me, I wouldnt deal with them ever again.
PC World told me Netgear were the bollox so I bought their Wireless ADSL modem/router. It drops the connection with every wireless card and dongle I possess (including a Netgear one). I suspect it needs a firmware update but I can't be arsed. I've got a D Link 54g one which works fine.

You have answered your own question - PC World - They are muppetts.
you may also have issues due to the channel you are using, wireless lans in my experience suffer from interference from cordless telephones which often use the same channel, if not yours your neighbour might be using one. Try changing your channel on the router and see if this has any effect - usually done via the browser interface. Other techies on here can correct me if I'm off the mark on this one.
A bit pricey for a home user....considering most ISP's now give them away free when you take a contract with them. It will do what it says mate, I don't have an account with these guys, I'll see how much I can get it for.

I'd go for either a D link, Linksys or Belkin. Don't bother with boosters.
I get most of my bits and pieces from there.

Also think when I go into offices to do any work they'd think it was a bit cheeky if I sat down and started fiddling with their PC's
i''ve got netgear it is the bollox mate -

Were they "clearance" items? 75% of the clearance stuff is returns.

Saying that their prices do seem very reasonable.
Bucks - I can buy this for £35 ex Vat........If you want I'll purchase it for you and you can sort me out on Tuesday if you are there.
