My primary connection is a Linksys router, but that got taken out last week by lightning, so waiting on a new one.
I have a Mecer USB winmodem at the moment, which works fine - getting a good 55kB on my 384 line, some errors from time to time, but I cannot point at the modem (although it could be?), might just be the cr@ppy lightning belt I live in
Exactly what happend to me! Lightning zapped Linksys so I got the Mecer 4 port as a cheap replacement. Not nearly as user friendly as the Linksys but it does the job. Obviously these CRC errors will influence my speed?
