What do you think to the current networking range that we have and how do you think our current pricing is against other competitors?

Remember there is to be no linking to competitors.

Many Thanks. :)
 
The pricing varies - some things you are cheaper on, some you are more expensive.

The categories are very confusing though. Under 'Wireless' you have 'ADSL / Broadband Modem Routers' and 'Cable Routers' where the so called 'Broadband Routers' are actually cable routers. It would make sense to have a totally seperate section for ADSL routers and Cable routers. A clear notice at the top of the page pointing out the difference would help.
 
More cisco stuff :)

Seriously, the prices look pretty good. Certainly the linksys stuff is about the same price as here in the US. I was expecting it to be cheaper here like most other stuff is. Also, specifically, I'd consider stocking the linksys WRT54GL, as it's a lot better than the current version of the WRT54G (imo) and is more 'hackable' which is certainly a good thing in the eyes of the computer-savvy techie. :)

That should actually have a print server in it. :)
 
The new categories make things clearer, but there are a couple of products in the wrong one.

These are in ADSL Routers, but should be in Cable Routers:

- Belkin 54Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Internet Gateway Router (F5D7230UK4) (NW-012-BE)
- D-Link DI-604 Broadband Router with 4-Port Switch (NW-029-DL)

These are in Cable Routers, but should be in ADSL Routers:

- ZyXel Prestige 660R Compact Series ADSL2+ Gateway Router (NW-007-ZY)
- ZyXel Wireless ZyAir 802.11g 125Mbps 660HW ADSL 2+ 4-port Gateway (NW-012-ZY)
- ZyXel Prestige 653HWI 802.11g Wireless-ready ADSL/ISDN 4-port Security Gateway Router (NW-009-ZY)

Click to expand...

Does the 'L' varient have more memory? Also, what extra 'hackable' features does the 'L' version have compared to the standard WRT54G?
 
It might be nice to see some decent rackmount switches in there. Something like the 3Com Baseline series of switches - at just over £100 for a a good semi managed switch I think small businesses would love them.
