His Sky router is a Netgear and is obviously shit, like pretty much all Netgears I have owned and used (including DG834G/GT etc.) 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.

	Not sure if it's still the case, but AOL set up used to be different to most other ISPs... VPI 0 VCI 35 Most ISPs use 38 (I think?)

Simple. Never had any trouble with my Netgear router.

	http://www.ebuyer.com/product/156834 Zoom X6 with Voice Over IP if you ever need to use such a system, only £34.99 I have the same router but without the VOIP and I have to say it's much more reliable than any Netgear router I've ever used (or Sky branded Netgear routers as well for that matter). Highly recommended Roberto. :thumbs: [Edited on 07-12-2009 by Sam]

	I presume this needs to be a modem also actually :S i want it to be the only thing they use like, altho not strictly necessary if its cheap enoguh :S
Robbo	posted on 7th Dec 09 at 14:23
	Also, does their pc need to have a wifi card? it can be connected directly to their pc if needs be

	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 :) Also, I wouldn't mind one as my one at home broke and Sky are bing less than useless about it all in tryign to fix it :mad:
