Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Firewall Router with 4-port 10/100 switch

This is a really easy product to set up. The wizard works well and detects your connection very quickly. The router is quick and although the wireless is the not the best thst i've seen, it is still very good.

This product is also very good if your adsl line has a low SNR rating (this will result is drops in connections on most modems, google SNR if your unsure what this is) however, i can easily get 8mbps without any drops on this modem. Something my orange livebox and 3 other modems could not do.

Netgear WGR614UK Wireless 54G Cable Router

I like to read reviews before I make electronic purchases, and Amazon is one of the best places to go for reviews.

Based on what I read here, I purchased this router with the free delivery option on Monday evening, it arrived the following Friday.

Just inserted the setup CD, took my time, read each screen carefully to follow instructions to the letter, and within 20 minutes, I was surfing the net wirelessly!

Signal "excellent" all over the house, not tried yet in the garden, waiting for it to stop raining!

Verdict: recommended!

Got this to connect my 360 to my router and it has been perfect so far, cheaper than the wirless option on the 360 too.

Edimax EW-7318USG Wireless USB LAN Adapter 4dBi Antenna, 802.11b.g 54Mbps

Bought this not very expensive adaptor to use with the free Tiscali Siemens router.
Installation into XP took minutes and worked without problems. After reboot into Fedora Linux there it was again - no installation required - brilliant. It works fine with no drop outs from downstairs to upstairs diagonally thro a brick wall in the first 2 weeks. For this money I did not expect success at all. Very impressed and would advise you to give it a go if you have this set up.

Sweex LW053 WiFi LAN USB 2.0 Adapter

from: Sweex

Hooked this up to the kid's PC (a Dell with XP that had previously had a ethernet LAN connection).

Early signs were not good. It could pick up our router and a few neighbours! But no joy in connecting. Had followed the installation right but the Sweex software was not having any of it.

Anyway, a bit of quick research and I was pointed to Microsoft Article 871122 (you might want to look that one up if you get any issues). This basically switches the control to XP and not the software and BINGO! Instantly on, easier to configure via Windows and has provided a briliant connection since.

Highly recommended, but if you get any issues, drop the software and let XP do it. I have a laptop with wireless built in, but my experience ... Read More:

TRUST HU-4440P 4 PORT USB2 MINI HUB

The ports are very close together, making it more suitable for connecting four USB cables than the devices themselves. Unfortunately, that's as good as it gets in my experience. I've had four of them - two from Amazon directly and two from a Marketplace seller (both very good about replacements and refunds). ALL FOUR HAVE FAILED!

I'd avoid this one like the plague.

Kensington PocketHUB Mini USB 2.0 - Hub - 4 ports - USB

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Network and Connectivity
from: Kensington


Received this today, plugged it in, was recongised as a "new device" and installed itself. Then simply plugged in a webcam, iPod, scanner and Blackberry. Possibly this overloaded it a tad as the scanner did not seem to kick in (I noted previous reviews about power consumption - you can buy separately an external power supply to connect to the device if you wish), however when I removed the Blackberry I could scan, transfer files to the iPod and watch myself on the webcam. Highly unlikely that I would use more than 2 devices at the same time so it does exactly what I want it to, i.e. save me having to relentlesly unplug and re-plug in devices to my USB ports.

Would have liked a longer cable (only a couple of centimeters) but considering the cost, I think ... Read More:

Belkin 802.11g Wireless G USB Network Adapter for Win 98SE/2000/ME/XP/Vista

Bought one of these despite all the bad reviews and my gamble paid off. Bearing in mind other peoples installation hassles i firstly installed it using the supplied software and unsurprisingly it didn't work. So i simply set it up using Windows wireless network wizard-inputting the required information manually and it immediatly worked perfectly. i think thats the problem most people are having- that they didn't let Windows recognise the new hardware properly before they gave up. Absolutely nothing wrong with this piece of kit!!

As someone else has mentioned, this works perfectly for syncing with my mobile phone (a Nokia 6500 slide), but was sent in far too big a box for such a small item.
