Hi Daniel,

The Belkin is about 2 /3 years old, I bought it from iinet. I purchased a laptop last year and could not get that to work. I eventually got it working after days of spending time fiddling. Now with the ipad, I am experiencing the same problems. The shop could'nt help me connecting the lap top, so not much point asking them about
the ipad.

It is probably an incorrect setting. Thinking of getting someone in to set it up for me as I simply do not have the time messing around with it. What is your charge rate ? I am in Carine.

Thank you so much for your info though.

Cheers
Jewels

Hi Julie

Surprised to hear that, as I've found the Belkins I've set up for clients work very well with all iPhones, iPads, Mac's and even Windows machines,
both off Ethernet and wireless as well.
Normally Belkin is one of my recommendations.
The other brands I tend to work with are Netgear and Billion. Both (and Belkin as well normally) I recommend and find work well with everything.
Fairly easy to set up.

Personally (and this is my own experience, so others may differ), I'm not a big fan of Netcomm or D-Link. I find them to be a bit un-reliable and don't last as long. (I've gone through 3 Netcomm modems with a client and they only last about 9 months before falling over. All covered by warranty, but
still a pain in downtime and swapping them out for a  new one....)

Just my 2cents with anyway.
However, if it's a setting, then a new modem may do the same as well. So if the Belkin isn't too old a model, may be worth revisiting the settings for
it,....as another idea as well ;)

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Hi,

Wonder if anyone can direct me on getting a suitable router for my
laptop, tower and ipad.  I have
a Belkin at the moment.  When I purchased my laptop last year I had a
lot of trouble getting it to
see my airport and now with my new ipad, I'm experiencing the same
difficulties.  I thought
rather than waste hours trying to get it to function, I would purchase
one that is suitable,where
the laptop and ipad would locate it immediately.

Any ideas - thanks

Jewels
