www.amazon.co.uk/Netgear-DG834PN ... B000BRYOQ8
I swear by it, was a bit weak set at 54mbps but after setting for 108Mbps it's signal is great, plus very easy setup, just about does it itself. I have my PC in loft conversion, but get just as strong a signal in living room to laptop, passing through 2 floors. In fact at these prices i may just get another one in case this one throws the towel in. I've had it for about 4 yrs.

I have a Netgear that is starting to turn in poor performances, constant disconnecting and re-connecting. I rang KC and they want to send an engineer out. The house is a new build so I can't see it being a line issue. Is there anything I can do to confirm it's a router problem?

Disconnect any phones in the house and swap your Micro Filters about (use one at a time to see if this resolves the problem and if so which filter needs replacing). Micro Filter failure is usually the culprit for your problem. KC will charge you for the visit and charge over the odds for a new Micro filter/splitter if this is your problem. If they want to pay you a visit it sounds as though they're saying it's alright at their end. |

Draytek here - it never misses a beat on a 15Mbit connection.
But yes, pricey.

The vast majority of people on BT are getting far less than 6mb download speed. |

Karoo were the nominees. Indeed, correct me if I'm wrong but I think they actually won an award for best ISP recently. |

ANY router will work with Karoo, there is no way the broadband signal knows what type of box it is connectiong to, only the branded (Sky/Virgin etc.) one's sometimes don't work.
As has been said, go Netgear, pay what you feel comfrotable paying and follow the instructions, and make sure you secure the connection!'"
I've had a thompson router for over a year now and its been absolutely fine with no problems whatsoever, everyone to their own i suppose. |

Again it goes down to what you want from a router but the Thompson routers are pretty poor when compared to the competition. The reason Karoo give them with a contract is because they are the cheapest on the market that work for them. |

I believe KC recommend Netgear, or at least they used to.
We have a Belkin which works fine, even with 3 of us online at the same time.

My Netgear has been excellent but I still have issues over the sub 1MBPS service supplied by Karoo. When BT take full control they might start to invest in KC's old infrastructure.

Reduced prices when KC has competition?
This must support the argument of KC taking advantage of it's local position as a monopoly?

Pretty similar to the new bundles they are offering at k-c.com to be honest. The Hull ones have larger bandwidth allowances but the phone packages are the same.

How did you change the settings?

If it's a Netgear Router you'll have had an installation disc with it, so there will be a program in your start menu or an icon on your desktop which says 'Router Login'..
If not, then make sure your computer/laptop is wired to the router with an ethernet cable then;
Log in to your NETGEAR router by browsing to www.routerlogin.net or www.routerlogin.com. Enter the username:admin and password. By default the password is password or 1234 unless it has already been changed.

To be fair you seem to have a bit of knowledge about our Computer/routers/ I had no problem until lets say 5 weeks ago when my Netgear went off. I eventually this week bought a new Netgear from PC world. I am clueless as to the running of a computer and I thought abought throwing it through the window, I got it up and running with ther HELP of KC because I let the phone ring and ring. I know nothing and the majority of people dont. I thank Karoo for keeping me sane. |
