Thank you

Just looking around and I found it for the price you said but reading on that website, it seems that a lot of people have trouble with it. I will have a think about it though because its a good price.

Anymore suggestions?

Don't have one, but have a DI-624 (plain not plus & wireless, which you can always turn-off). Serving me well now for more than a year & bought it second-hand for about £20

Netgear FVS114 ProSafe VPN Firewall Router (NW-092-NG)

has 100mb wan and kicks ass

just because it has a 100mbit WAN port does not mean it can route 100mbit of traffic from WAN to LAN. perhaps if you have it in bridged mode it will but not a chance if you plan to use NAT. If you look in the datasheets for routers it should specify the real wan to lan throughput.

Probably the cheapst thing you can do if you really need to route 100mbit of traffic is to get a cheap P3 pc (e.g. dell gx110 for £20) and run pfsense on it.

edit: throughput for the FVS114 is just 11.5mbit

I assume the question has been asked because the OP has (or will have) a 10Mbit ntl/telewest connection.

Or he's plugging it into a communal network which runs at 100Mb?

jake000 · 23 Jul 2006 at 11:15

Thanks for the replies everyone

I am using NTL 10mb as mentioned. If I go wireless as mentioned, what other parts do I need to get for the wireless network to work?

Thank you

I'm sure you missed this at the top of the Networks & Internet Connectivity sub-forum as a sticky

Also, this might be useful :cool:
