I have one of these. It is the sky tv provided one. It seems to work well, without too many problems. > > Netgear-DG834PN-RangeMax-MIMO-G-Wireless² > This sounds ideal.

It seems quite good. But, if I was purchasing one now, I would go for one that supports the N standard as that should be even better. As a general rule, no wireless tech gets through thick walls at all. I find that just installing more wireless access points around the house is better. I just put them in the attic and trail cat5e between them. NetworkManager seems to be able to automatically switch between the APs depending on where I sit in the house. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
