Belfast Boy Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Can anyone advise me wether this belkin router will work on a BT line, a cable (NTL) line or either. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/belkin-wireless-modem-g-router_W0QQitemZ9732922661QQcategoryZ62025QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I am looking to change my crappy USB broadband modem and I want to be able to connect to the internet on my laptop too. If this is no good what should I go for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gemmill Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I use the same router with BT broadband and run a desktop and a wireless laptop off it mate. It will definitely work and it's easy to set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Boy Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Connected through it now, so I guess it works fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 The router is working fine for connecting my desktop, and my laptop is detecting it, but every time the laptop connects, it immediately searches for a network address and disconencts. Any help? EDIT: Sorted that, I am connected to the wireless network now, but how do I connect to the internet on my laptop? It seems as though the desktop (MShome) and the laptop (Belkinhome) are in two different workgroups. EDIT2: Got it all sorted now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehhagel Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 You will have problems with it connecting to the Internet sometimes, you need to reset the button at the back when that happens, but first you need to find something that fits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hmm i just got mine sorted but its unbelivably slow, me and my sister both use cordless mouse and keyboard plus we have a cordless phone how much does this effect the speed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Do you mean you are using the cordless phone connecting the PC to the internet? Then you are into a capacity issue with the transmission from phone to router Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
