Re: best wireless router for NTL

Hi,

A little off topic - but might be worth a warning...

I have tried 3 different wireless routers (USR, Sony LocationFree and some odd brand from Maplin) and I find that I get half the speed (4mbps) via wireless compared to 8mbps using a direct connection to the cable modem (on my 10mbps connection).

From this thread http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ighlight=speed it seems that it is to be expected.

Strangely, on my old adsl 2mbps connection, I get pretty much 2mbps over the wireless connection (netgear router).

I am thinking that I need to use the power-over-ethernet in order to be able to use the higher speeds...

Thanks,
Chris
