I've 'accidently' discovered that my 10Mb connection with NTL is being throttled by my Netgear RP114 router. I say accidently as I temporarily removed my router out of network and noticed a huge increase in my download speed (1.2Mb/s rather than a max of 600kb/s).
I've looked in the routers settings and it does not allow me to change the speed of the WAN port which is stuck on 10mb/Half. So, I need a new router.
At the moment, I have a RP114, a 3com Wireless Access Point. I've just had an extension built which means I need at least 3 more ports so I can be connected everywhere I go (yes, I know it can be wireless, but I decided wired would be better so I had control over any kids behaving badly!).
So, I would like a router (not a adsl modem router - I'm cable remember), that has more than 4 ports - ideally wireless too, but it's not a big deal as I have a WAP which I can hook upto the network.
Any suggestions? I'm worried that I might pick up a router which will throttle my speed again.
Thanks,
z
