Mouse in a wheel with wires, looks much more interesting

It's BAP.

How long's you're line, BAP (ie what is your downstream attenuation) and what kind of sync speeds do you currently obtain?

Good reviews on both.
Had netgears and a few others in the past
My Netgear gt is failing, a few years old now!
Thought I would have a change.

Did you miss a zero on the sync speed, BAP?

Do you need N wireless capability?

Yes

I have got a Netgear DGN2000 http://www.netgear.co.uk/dgn2000.php

I have had it for a few months now and it is as stable as a rock, it syncs at 8128/448 on a 33dB attenuation and has never once dropped sync. I also has has wireless N. Worth consideration IMHO.

I have been looking at that one, wireless range good?
I have two laptops upstairs, grand children "abuse" them when they come round!

All I can say is that the wireless works fine all over the house, but I haven't wandered down the garden to see how far i can get.

Just got me a DGND3300, up and running both laptops working ok, fingers crossed.

Thanks all for your suggestions.
