...to get a steady internet connection.
However, a quick turn to Ebay and I managed to pick up two basic models, the NetgearXE102 for less than £35 for the pair.
There are faster models, but as they were purely for sharing the internet, the connection being 2Mbps - with a top speed of 14Mbps they should cover most broadband connections with room to spare.
Setup seemed simple enough. I was concerned about the electrics in the house as they are obviously suceptable to "imaginative" wiring and also old wiring. My initial attempts were plagued by the router based adapter refusing to talk to the router. After an hour or two I finally ended up trying the network cable that came with the set and it seemed to work, although the cable was too short for a tidy setup with things trailing accross sofas.
However it is my firm belief now that the things...

Advantages: Small footprint, 802.11b, g and pre-n supported, easy to use and customise Disadvantages: Control panel can appear daunting at first, help provided could be more concise
...I've been online for as many years as I care to remember and I've done so lately through a great little wireless router by Belkin. However when I moved into a brand new flat, I thought "time to upgrade" and my purchase was in the form of this Netgear WGR 614 Wireless Router.
When I first took the router out of the box I was impressed to see the number of ADSL splitters I got with it, (three in total) but for now I only needed the one. Setup was what I would call 'normal' - Plug in the mains power and plug in the supplied RJ11 phone cable to the splitter. Then either hook up a computer via an Ethernet cable or hook up through a wireless connection. Another few mins and you're away.
This router allows up to 4 wired Ethernet connections along with many, many wireless connections. Both the 802.11b, g and pre-n draft specification...

Advantages: Sleek, small, easy to use Disadvantages: Not wall mountable
...This switch has been a great addition to my network. It allows for fast transfer sppeds and i have been using for over 3 months now with no problems. Unluckily it is not wall mountable which would have been useful, but it comes with some legs which can be used to stand it on its side. The lights on the front are very useful for indicating whether the connected device is operating at 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps. The device gets slightly warm, but no more than other electronic devices. Overall i am very pleased with this switch, it was very easy to set up; I just plugged it in and it worked. The included intructions are also very clear, with clear illustrations. I have quite a few Netgear items in my network along with some other brands and i always find i can rely on the Netgear equipment. Overall a very solid piece of equipment....
