Was networking a Nursing Home a few years ago, linking desktops, security cameras, etc. Went through two or three Belkin routers and they just weren't connecting - wasted hours on them. Belkins' tech support are great, but I'd rather not need them. Netgear have always been a sure thing for me, from Hubs, to Switches, to Routers - never had a bad one yet.

To be honest my previous Netgear router would do the same, so maybe it is a modem-isp fault. I upgraded my router as I needed to go wireless.Claw wrote: Was networking a Nursing Home a few years ago, linking desktops, security cameras, etc. Went through two or three Belkin routers and they just weren't connecting - wasted hours on them.

It could have been a bad batch. Purely from an observers point of view, wanting to keep a market share, Belkin exchanged quality for volume and cheap components.
Their cables and KVM's seem to be great.

Dunno if it was my point you were referring to, but it was definitely the Belkin routers that were at fault. The network was a mix of cables and wifi because the building was old and had walls like a castle. So, I was running around testing everything until I grabbed an old Netgear router I had at home. That did the job and I've stuck with either Netgear or Linksys ever since - Netgear being a personal favourite.Rasputin wrote: Can't blame an isp for your wireless network. If you want to add CTV to your network then it's an access point fault or user fault

Just been checking out some of the Draytek offerings and they have quite a few nifty features. Going off some of the reviews, and of course Leg's recommendation, Draytek routers look very comprehensive.
