We need a wireless router as its getting very irritating using the laptop in 1 part of the house as its still on a wired router.

Just been checking a website out and it recommends a MIMO router for victorian or large houses, ours is both.

I found one on their website, a MIMO one which is apparently capable of giving a mega strong signal anywhere in the house and outside of it, the house being a " hot spot "

just found the same router on ebay for £35, dont really want to spend more than around £40 tbh and it just needs a strong connection downstairs ( as i need to use one in the back room when i get it for work )

thats the one i was looking at?

Any advice appreciated

Should have no problems with that, Netgears are really simple to set up too

 

Draytek make the best home routers.

 

it's all about the range they provide...............i went to pcworld and looked at the boxes and the diagrams on them....also does the lap top have built in wireless or do u need the adapter aswell...??????......i've got a belkin "n1" adapter on my pc, very good for downloading and a fookin' great range

 

got one built in, the range on that netgear one is the best you can get it says......

 

i've got a netgear rangemax 240, apparently the signal can be picked up a few houses down across the road

 

......well it must be true then............

 

Netgears are meant to be the best and easiest to setup as above, the one in the link should be fine.

The range on any router should be good enough because thats what its for, unless your house is as long as a football pitch, which i very much dout!

 

linksys are the best IMO but you can go wrong with netgear, belkin etc

 

ive got a belkin g+ going spare if anyone wants to make me an offer

 

you tried contactin ur isp see wot they can do for you , might be worth a call if ur a loyal customer etc etc

 

theyre a rip off tbh, Virgin said their basic wireless router was £25, bugger that for a laugh

 

Its probably a crap one that cant keep a connection for more than 10mins aswell

 

The one on their site says it is a netgear - same style as the one you've linked to. We have one of the Virgin items & as well as looking good it works very well for us. Think they are about £50-60 though depending where you buy
