    Router needed for Virgin 100mb

    Have ordered a cheap gigabit switch, if it works great, if not it's only a £15 gamble to speed up the transfer from the 3Gb NAS to the server MB

    Router needed for Virgin 100mb

    Thanks mate It's actually the DIR-615 I have here so it looks like that might be a bottle neck then? Probably most effective to add a gigabit switch for the Lan and then upgrade the Switch to max out the internet but I can wait until something comes up secondhand, infact something with...

    Router needed for Virgin 100mb

    I'm using the wireless router as a router, the Virgin Modem goes into the router and that is where I'm opening ports etc. I presume that using a switch would remove those options and not give my network any protection, or am I wrong? Thanks MB

    Router needed for Virgin 100mb

    I have a similar but different question. I have a Virgin modem not a Superhub which I am informed will cope with speeds of 100-120 and I am in not rush to upgrade to the 'Superhub'. I have a feeling that the router that came with the modem is limiting the speed of internal network traffic...

    ****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

    UK Traffic 24.12.11

    Thanks everyone I suspect like most other people that the Friday afternoon will be not great and that Christmas Eve should be OK for longer motorway journeys, although there may be more localised traffic around places like Bluewater and Cribbs Causeway etc. This year is complicated for us...

    UK Traffic 24.12.11

    Quick question I know no one knows for sure but does anyone have any reasonable predictions on traffic this Christmas Eve? I can't remember the last time Christmas Eve fell on a Saturday and obviously it's going to effect the roads, I have a long drive to do and I don't have any choice but to...
