Yeh we are still coming, we wont hang around after because we have to be up at 4.30 monday morning to get to Cardiff airport for 5.30
All of our routers have come from PC world, Richie will probably be on here at some point today or you could just buzz him on his mobile and he can tell you which one would be best

I have a SpeedTouch5F, never had problems with it, and installation was problem free, even with AOL.

Nothing wrong with Linksys, owned by Cisco. Mine hasn't missed a beat in 4 years.

Ive been using netgear wireless routers in the work place and at home and they have not skipped a beat. It usually the wireless adapter on the client pc that acts like a batteh crease.
