It tastes yummy if you're a rug rat

Advantages: Fast, good range, powerful, not too expensive for what you get
Disadvantages: none so far

This is a wireless network router whih you can use with either a cable modem or a DSL modem. I've owned mine for ages - it orginally cost me £76 and, though that's quite a lot compared to some routers, this one is really powerful and I guess you get what you pay for. This router doesn't come with a modem, as with most of them, but, like the majority of ISPs I suspect, mine supplied me with one as part of the subscription. The signal is perfect all ...
...bars out of five on the display on my laptop. This is despite the fact that the router is unhelpfully located in the study which seemd logical but is in fact right at one end of the house, so it's impressive that we are still getting signal right at the other end above the garage. The router is very fast too; I'm really pleased with as well: I can download a half-hour TV programme from 4OD in about a minute, and my teenage son can play on-line games ...

Review of D-Link DKT-110 Wireless G Starter Kit - wireless router

Good value router

Advantages: good signal. great value
Disadvantages: can be difficult to set up

I bought this wireless router in December to not only remove all of the cables in the living room but to share the connection on 2 laptops. The initial set up of the router caused a few problems and eventually had to set everything up manually, I found the user guide from the dlink website very helpful with sorting out the set up problems although this does give step by step instructions for various problems, I feel it is not suitable for people ...
...up, I have had few further problems with this product. The signal is good throughout the house and only very occasionally drops connection, although I believe this was due to the initial positioning of the router and since moving it sllightly the router has not dropped connection. The router comes with a stand to place it in a vertical position or can be laid horizontally, it also has an adjustable anntenae making it easy to place out of sight. I ...

Review of D-Link Wireless G Router DIR-300 - wireless router

Wireless Network Set-Up By Beginner

Advantages: Everything you need in the box
Disadvantages: Could come with a jargon buster

Being an experienced computer user who has previously done basic upgrades to my PC I was still a little worried about going wireless. I had security worries & the terminology is baffling. Do I go with wireless-g or wireless-n? If it's wireless, why did I need ethernet cables? I also was not sure exactly how to set it up & friends had had problems setting up their systems. However, I decided to go for it when my wired modem apparently gave up the ...
...one promised easy set-up wizard, install in seconds. I did have problems initially but to be fair, later discovered these were due to problems on the ADSL telephone line not the product. Once the line was "fixed" the router basically did just plug in & set up easily via the wizard. The quick install guide DOES NOT explain however where to stick the USB adapter. I was not sure if it needed to plug into the PC as well as the router or to plug it into ...

Review of D-Link DKT-710 Wireless G ADSL2+ Starter Kit - wireless router

D-Link DSL-2542B - router is a HOT buy !

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: It does not work correctly - at least mine

...and after 2 emails with D-Link they did not reply any more to me avoiding the problem. So, I sent it back to Amazon and asked for a full refund - not Amazon fault and thinking that it was at 'only' £. 24.99 and no postage, that should have been a warning ! I hope for D-Link sake, it was only mine faulty and it is not a normal way or working for this modem. It does not mean other modems are faulty, mine was and I asked D-Link to send one out (just ...
