Hey all,

My router (which ive been meaning to replace for ages now) now seems to "lock up" my DNS whenever a load a list of gameservers (which is a extremely long list) - so, im going to have to buy another one!

Requirements:
- Cheap and cheerfull!
- SPI Firewall
- Port forwarding (havnt needed it with my current as the SPI does the SPI part...well!)
- Stable for Long lines!
- Wired
- 4 ports

And, crucially...somewhere to get it from!

Many thanks for suggestions etc!!

Nevermind! Got some recommendations from freinds RE: The netgear that someone here recommended a while back..so just ordered it via ebuyer - using the google checkout offer of course!

I've saved £60 with the google offer in total. Shame it is coming to end end soon!

Let us know if the router is any good!

Same here Lance, it ends on the 10th apparently.

Let us know how you get on with Netgear Avenger. :)

"Let us know how you get on with Netgear Avenger"

Seems to of fixed both issues :)

Shame the "city-link man" arrived @ 17:45 (after a days waiting for him!)

Rik

A watched delivery van never arrives... :)

Check which version of the firmware you have in the Netgear, they are often way out of date.

Soooo annoying when they do that! Thankfully, I know that the city-link deliveries round my parts are always between 12 and 3!

At least it has sorted your problems!

I reckon they only have one van, it comes here first (around 10), pops up to you, then works its way round to Avenger later. :)
