Accesspoint and/or router - help!

<< < (3/4) > >>

Carol Haynes:
As far as I can tell the ADSL 2 modem is backward compatible with ADSL.

It works fine with 54g WiFi cards too ... apparently it increases WiFi range and strength up to 50% with older devices though I haven't tested this personally. You will get faster networking from multiple 54g devices because the AP uses MIMO technology so it can squirt out a total of 300Mbs - but each device will capped at their maximum rate. (At least that is how I understand it to work).

I've been looking at the LinkSys WAG300N which might suit my needs (still haven't been able to find DG834N). It only has 100mbit wired and not gigabit :(, but I guess I can live with that.

Payday on wednesday, I'll probably order the router then. If it doesn't do the trick, I'll just use the "ordered online, 14 days full return warranty" :-*

Carol Haynes:
Here is the one I have (on the Danish site) ...

http://dk.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/RangeMaxNEXTWirelessRoutersandGateways/DG834N.aspx

There is a router (look up DG834T) which has a gigabit interface but it doesn't have the ADSL modem.

By the way I only edited your post to correct the URL

f0dder:
Hm, I had my URL wrong? Darn. Your "dk.netgear.com" site doesn't do much for me, though... can't seem to order online, and the distribution partners things is pretty useless too. Thanks for your effort, though :)

I'll rather have 100mbit+modem than gigabit. Gbit would be nice, but if I end up needing it, I can always get a switch.

So... LinkSys it is (it's even got a nifty Cisco logo on it :) ). I'll probably do a mini-review or at least post impressions here once I get my hands on it.

Carol Haynes:
It's strange because it is available in Europe (I have one in the UK) but I can't find anyone who stocks it outside the UK.

You could always call Netgear and ask them where you can buy one - or telephone one of the distributors on the website (there are two list if you click on the where to buy link). Failing that you could always buy one from the UK and use a UK/Europe plug adapter (dead cheap).

Personally I wouldn't touch another Linksys access point after previous experiences.
