wireless modem help

I think that he was fobbing you off. Did you read the reviews on the Ebuyer site?

Due to a firmware bug under ADSL/Internet Settings, make sure 'Connect Type' is set to 'Always Connected', otherwise if your using a wireless only setup (ie nothing connected via ethernet), the router will not re-establish the connection after an idle timeout.

I can't see any reason why that router would be unsuitable for use here. What browser are you using? Some makes of router are fussy about the browser used when accessing the set-up screens.

I would guess that the problem is more likely to be with your computer set-up than the router.

I am using one of these Talk Talk Modem Routers now, I found it a doddle to sort, I just plugged it all together, entered my ISP details and User ID, and that was it.

It is actually a re - badged Philips.

Good luck, let us know how you get on.;)
