Routers

[Skyler]

Righty, my dad wants a router and so do I, so I need to know what one to get basically. I dont wanna spend to much, I've been looking at the Solwise SAR703, but that has no built in hub so I'll need a hub/switch as well.

Or I can get my hands on this one for a rather small sum...

I need to know if its any good, or if there are any others around that "0wn" for a cheap price?

The efficient networks model I'm considering is the 5861 btw

I guess we're talking ADSL routers?

Yes we are talking ADSL routers.

I've read the reviews on adslguide, but I dont want to invest in one of those when I can get this efficient networks 5861 cheaper, if its good that is

So is it good ?;p

 

[old.Jas]

They look suspiously like the ones that BT supply with business ADSL connections - in which case I have used one - prolly a lower version. Nuttin' special - it just routes

 

[Skyler]

Yes it is exactly that Jas

I think the one I can get even has a BT label, but that dont bother me, I just want it to give me good pingtimes and for it to be stable

After all.... 65 quid for a router with 4port hub and such aint bad. Sites I've seen it advertised on its been priced at like $400 ;P
