I wonder if anyone cold help i had Digby at my house doing some work, and I asked him if it would be beneficial to bring over a better quality router from the UK, he said one of his clients, had purchased one, i think it was a a virgin cable router, but I cant for the life of me remember what make it was, Has anyone ever changed there and found a good one

I have tried to get hold of Digby, but hes obviously mad busy

thanks
Al

Hi Al,

Basically and router that works with a cable system works will be fine. Many customers like the Buffalo routers (you can use DD-WRT with a VPN on these) or some or the linksys/Cisco models.

When you say 'better quality' what are you expecting the device(s) to do better than the TP-LINK (i think they use them) that Holitec put in ? I've found TP-LINK in a number of different installations to be good enough to be honest, port forwarding, remote management, logging all standard features with most SOHO routers, only problem with integrated wireless routers i've found (not specific to TP-LINK) is the wireless performance limited by the standard reinforced concrete construction so have used secondary wireless access point(s) to give better coverage where required.

A DD-WRT firmware gives some specific extras which may be of interest but is relatively advanced procedure to carry out.

If you stick with the supplied device then at least the supplier can provide support if/when required.

Geoff you are aware that Digby is Holitec? Jim

I dont think mine is a tplink mate, Mine hasnt got any name on it at all,

TP-LINK router are usually white and it's name cannot be missed, it is on the top of the unit.

why do you insist on this style of commenting - directly within other people's posts one never knows a comment/statement has been appended to ones post until one goes back to read ones own post(s) !! I have to say I don't do very often - I tend to read the replies in a topic after my post more than re-reading my own submission.

Anyway, yes am aware Digby is Holitec, i don't use them myself but a client does and i've had nothing but good customer service and technical support from Holitec on occasions required.
