Which dsl router?

[mikef]

Please help

Comparing telkom's 5100 router to their marconi 4 port wifi router which would be the better choice?
Assuming both were available at no cost and contract issues were not a factor.

don't bother!

save yourself lots of money!

phone you nearest dealer and order a chronos 4-port dsl router.

It should cost about R420.

Works like a charm.

Thanx for the reply but I am already using the 5100 with no problems but can switch to the 4 port WiFi telkom router at no cost.
As this comes with wireless functionality it seems worthwhile but I want to know if there are any negatives.

Go for it!

Its a good idea because then you don't have to drill holes and its cool for using your laptop when you watch tv!

check and make sure that it supports WPA though...

It seems that it only supports WEP 64bit/128bit encryption

is there a firmware upgrade for it? i would check first, otherwise...
