By reading a number of different threads on this forum three different wireless routers seem to get a lot of support:
(1) Netgear DG834G
(2) Thomson ST-585v6
(3) 2wire 2700 HG (unlocked)
By all accounts these sound as though they should hold sync better (and possibly higher) than my current 3com device (which is about 3-4 years old - and pre-dates ADSL2+).
Also from this forum I've discovered that some of these can be sourced from dsldepot as B-grade stock for about 20 quid, and I've discovered that digidave sell refurbished versions for about 20-30 quid.
I've got a fairly high loss line - 62-63 dB - and an ADSLMax sync rate that gives a reasonanly steady 1000 IP profile (have briefly had 1250, and ocassionally a frustrating few days at 750 - at least it not as dire as the 500 I used to drop back to :crap
.
Is buying B-grade or refurb'ed routers a safe bet ? (or am I better to go with new items).
From the scant ino I've given above - is there one of the three options above that stands out above the others ?
I'm just a canny Scot looking for any advice I can get before I let the moths out of my wallet :smilet:
