Hi, They didn't give her a free router! The cable modem had an ethernet plug on it, and the router was installed in the student accomodation.

Sorry for taking ages to get back to you. I recommend the Draytek 2900 routers - there are various models depending on what you want. Look at the models at www.draytek.co.uk and browse for prices at www.seg.co.uk. You either want the 2900 range or the 2100 range. Also, if you are on a budget, try the Netgear or D-link routers, but ensure you buy the cable modem routers with an Ethernet port on, not the ADSL modem type. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Trueblue & Proud Sent: 04 January 2006 10:57 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: more broadband + router Andrew,my cable modem has such a plug. Is it just to plug the router in there, and go?. The real reason is, I'll be getting a laptop later, and would like to link it with my desktop system wirelessly. Thanks for the offer. Please let me have some reccomendations of models.
