Topic: Setting up new BB installation

[bat69]

Yes it is "I"  hee hee

Thanks everyone,

Well my GF will be using BB in her house and I want it in my house so I can annoy you lot again when I get it all sorted. She needs BB for college and is sick of AOL ... ahhh I can sympathise there   she can use BB at my house when she is staying with me too, so its high speed all the way  

Thanks Sandra, that sounds about right for my GF, and mmmm wireless for me .... but I'm not convinced about security of wireless yet, and all my PCs will be in the same room, so good old Cat5 seems fine. But you're right San ... I need speed  

Any more suggestions will be gratefully received

say Hi to the GF

Thanks Serenity   its nice to be back, albeit if only briefly for now ... doing to jobs at work and trying to get my house sorted is taking so much time ... I'm just hoping to get things back to "normal" soon and then harrass you lot with a vengence again  

Ohh and I'll pass on your regards to my GF, thank you  

Ohh and hellooooooo to all you new members too, welcome and I'm pleased you joined us

I had a look at the Netgear DG814 as being the most likely one I want, but was disappointed to find it only comes with a software Firewall ... for something at that price approx £130, I would have expected a hardware firewall. The Vigor2600 has built in Firewall and is only £140 from here

Any more suggestions? the Vigor is still winning
The one you suggest Sandra looks likely, but on reading the reviews, it appears to have a problem with Messenger ... has anyone had experience of this?

Try this one Bat, the D-Link wireless one for £128-02 inc vat from :

Has a lot of other LAN stuff too

Bat, if you are prepared to pay for the Vigor, you won't find a finer router.

As you know Clive has a 2600 which was a doddle to set up. We also use 4 Vigor 2600s at work and, touch wood, never get any problems at all.
