i stand corrected - i just reached for my box as well and yes it does support adsl2

Ged, IIRC the plusnet issue was an incompatibillity between hella / the junipers and the netgear routers; which caused the disconnects...

yep that was the thing that the guy sorted out and it stopped after that

still dont support multicast tho

I'm assuming this is a standard 4 port with wireless built in??

Got my MAC code and my sign up code from sky so am ready to go!!!

and the wireless works!

setting up the router is a piece of cake as well.

You can have it automated via the cd, all you really need is your username and password, and it will do the rest by itself.

If you want to host games on your home pc, you will need to open ports etc on it. Again a piece of cake.

Overall its a good router, just wasa bit crumby on another ISP

Which as mentioned earlier in the thread (incase anyone missed it) was fixed by that ISP's techies and I can personally confirm now works on the ISP with no problems.

Been doing some reading on this router, seems it is very bad at P2P apps...a tactic by Sky?

Would be strange since their own 'by broadband' service is built on P2P technology (I think it is anyway?).

welcome to skyuser Warp Man

cant say i have had any probs on p2p, i think P2P in general is been hampered by most ISP's at the moment anyway
