quote: Sky put on there own software. I have no issues with Netgear DG384 on other ISPs or on my Sky line. My issues are with not being able to have static IPs from Sky. The Netgear software and Sky software does what most users require. It's more to do with user error :lol: I work in IT support, and will be putting on another Netgear DG384 at my new place, just not using Sky as an ISP. The thing even does site to site VPN, what more do you want for £40 :boggle: If you need more features then it's time for a managed switch, firewall such as monowall /sonicwall or going Cisco. If you're using Sky as an ISP then you will need to telnet onto the router to obtain the username and password as Sky will not give you these details. Give me a shout if you need help with this. | |

I'm not sure why people are recommending Netgear to Robbo... His Sky router is a Netgear and is obviously shit, like pretty much all Netgears I have owned and used (including DG834G/GT etc.) | |

Not sure if it's still the case, but AOL set up used to be different to most other ISPs... | |

OK, I'm after a cheap WiFi router for my girlfriends house, they have quite an old computer running on XP and using AOL... what's good, and very cheap... she wants one so she can use her laptop in her room and log on :) |
