Hello,
I use a Draytek 2800 router, the second from the manufacturer I have used.
It has a very usable interface with Window-eyes and I can get reports sent
to me from it. It provides for full control of its facilities. I do believe
that the extra cost of this router is worth the money for the extra security
features it provide. You may even find it connect at a faster rate to your
ISP. My connectin improved from 6MB to the full 8MB once I installed it.
It also has 2 VOIP ports on it. This will give you additional phone
connectivity at very reasonable rates.
I am a BT user and, even using their Broadband Talk facility, I can make
phone calls to the USA at < 1PPM. You may want to consider such facilities
as
an additional asset.
Best of luck.
Regards, John

As you know, I wasn't the guy who introduced you to the Draytek range, but I
too use them now in three locations.
Although I had some issues with VPN some while ago, I managed to resolve
these in the last few days - one of the ISP's was telling porkies, and the
IP proved to be dynamic.
By the use of an on-line IP utility, the IP appears to be static, and all
the issues have been resolved.
The web interface is easy with JAWS, and one of the units (which cost well
over a hundred quid) survived the power surge which killed off a PC 7 weeks
or so ago.
The PCMCIA card in my lap top was also easy to set up.

Hi Andy,
Impossible for me to take sides on any manufacturer, but
personally speaking, and of course from my business point of
view, I was introduced to Drayek Vigor routers by a blind
system administration person who must remain nameless.
http://www.draytek.co.uk/
Although these guys have a very simple web based interface,
and are probably more expensive than others, as far as I am
concerned they have proved to be very reliable.
But see what others say here about what they have got.
George.

Hi George -
Well I do use Vista now, on the laptop! So maybe I should be
looking at
other manufacturers other than Netgear? I'm aware of
Linksys, but have read
quite a lot of reviews where people have had problems with
the installation,
and with loss of connection! -
Andy

| Frankly, Andy, I'd be looking for Router/Modems which work

at

| Hi George -
|
| So, is this to say that going for the more expensive 2005
| model would be
| best? There doesn't seem to be anything more up-to-date
than
| that; Netgear
| have given links on their site to download drivers for all

|| Hi Andy,

years

||
|| No wonder it's such a low price.
