Hey guys,

I have O2's LLU broadband and looking for an upgrade from the Wireless Box II that I have been using since signing up to O2 years ago.

The network is shared between 4 computers within the house, mixture of wired/wireless and is used predominantly for gaming.

Budget is around £50.

Any help appreciated. Thanks
 
What specifically are you trying to achieve? What problems are you having with the current box?

Your budget is pretty small for a decent upgrade.
 
Go foir netgear dg834gt or dgn2000, can be got from ebay and load dgteam firmware, loads more options, tweak sync speed etc.

Mainly increased wireless range and better access with online gaming. The current O2 wireless box no matter what I try keeps my firewall status on PS3 as 'Restricted' and cannot play online games. Even after consulting with O2 and them changing settings on the router for me have not resolved the problem.

When trying my old Netgear DG834GT the setting will change to 'Moderate' and all is fine. However the internet would keep dropping connection a few times a day which lead me to believe the router didnt like the connection or it was faulty.

My knowledge of router/internet connectivity is limited.
