Abysmal router

Advantages: Horrid
Disadvantages: Horrid

...Since moving to a new job recently and into a brand new building we have had a whole new broadband networking system installed. The main computers are hardwired into workstations but the staff need to move around the building and each floor so require a wireless connection. The Netgear router was bought by me, being in charge of these matters, under very false advice and has been a complete waste of money. This is by far and away the worst experience I have had with any of the many routers I have used in the past! Utterly dreadful! This cost me £59.99 from a local computer shop and the first thing that appealed to me was a review I read online and the in store advice. Another plus factor was that this, in its black and sleek design, would go well in our new office which was a black, grey combo. I should have done far more research but...

D-Link DSL-504 ADSL Router 4 Port

Advantages: Pick up a bargain ?
Disadvantages: Only 4 ethernet ports ?

...Another review from me for a discontinued item, but may be useful if you're loking to pick up a bargain item on ebay... The D-Link DSL-504 ADSL Router has a built-in ADSL modem - plugs directly into your ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line)-enabled phone line, and with its 4 port 10/100Mbps ethernet switch, allows connections to lots of things (check out my other reviews for what it's connected to...). The DCHP server allows automatic allocation of IP addresses to all your network gubbins too - although I've set the IP's for my wireless accesspoint & print server to allow easier access to their brower based interfaces. The DSL-504 has a browser admin interface too for easy installation and setup, just type in the IP address (the default 192.168.0.1, as with most routers, but if it's changed you can always use the command line...

Review of D-Link DSL-504 ADSL Router 4 Port

TalkTalk made a good Router choice!

Advantages: Fast, small, reliable, good WiFi connectability
Disadvantages: None

...I got my first D-Link DSL-2680 when I joined TalkTalk last March and used it every day up until February this year when I ended my broadband with TalkTalk, and it worked fantastically without fault.Just today, I re-joined TalkTalk and am using another DSL-2680 they sent me for my new connection. Needless to say, this one is just as good as the last, as it is the same model.To install the router you simply have to run an installation disk on your computer and after 15 minutes it is installed. Then, you can start browsing and enjoy fast download speeds, reliable connectivity with both Ethernet connection and WiFi, and of course, it looks nice and isn't too big.At the back there is the ASDL port, two Ethernet ports, the AC adapter port, and a push button ON/OFF switch, which I'll never use as I keep it...
