E:? Belkin 54G Wireless Cable Router & USB Adapter £34.99 - PCWorld

welshblob

Hi,

PCWorld have this on offer again which is exactly what I've been looking out for.

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/542714

This is for NTL and Telewest BB as it does not have an ADSL modem in it. Order for collect in store to get the above price as its £5 more otherwise.

Cheers
Rob

Don't forget to go through Quidco for 3 or 5%!

I got this a few weeks ago!

I got flamed a little at the time

It is not the best piece of kit - in fact I think it is the USB adapter that is poor - as my laptop (which I did my initial tests) appear to be very solid. (my laptops have a Intel and a cisco internal wireless card)

good price though

I bought a brand new 'Netgear' router for cable, on Ebay last night - for peanuts! There's loads of cheap Netgear ones on there, apparently they're branded 'Blueyonder' and NTL have dumped them as the Blueyonder ISP doesn't exist any more.

The fact that I bought it then discovered I needed an ADSL one isn't relevant :eek:

Oh, well, I'll have to list it back on Ebay when it's delivered :rotfl:

I think the reason this is so cheap is because it's a 54 mbs model and everyone has now moved onto 125 mbs, you may be dissapointed at it's performance when surfing the net.

I have a belkin which I am not happy with, for some reason it often reset the connection, so I will lose connection for a few minutes at a time. A friend gave me this router who had the same problem with it.

I am thinking about getting this one to replace it:

If you're lucky and have an 8mbs internet connection, the 54mbs of the wireless won't slow things down AFAIK (given a good signal).

That's a good point! Easy to get caught up in the deals without assessing the best option. Thanks.

Not applicable as the internet connection is far less than 54mbs so surfing is not delayed

My Belkin has now started to drop the connection every hour or so:mad:
Just over 6 month old from PCW...going back I guess.
