My Netgear DG834GT is dying. It's making strange high-pitched buzzing noises and the wireless signal keeps dropping. Any RMDs for a fairly decent wireless modem? I'm using Macs if that makes any odds. |

That's an ADSL modem and router, as opposed to a router, yes? |

My WRT54GL has also been perfect and is running an awesome custom firmware. Doesn't have the modem part in it, mind. I hate the Netgear interface for opening for ports and stuff, it was a right pain in the arse. |

One more for Linksys here, though I have an older WRT54G. Newer ones mostly don't work with the custom firmware. That said, you may want to look at the 802.11n kit, depending on offers, etc. Apple's own routers are solid but massively expensive in my experience. |

I've got a DG834GT - going to upgrade to a DG834PN in the next couple of days. One of those 108Mpbs RangeMax jobs. |

I'm using Macs if that makes any odds. I was looking at Drayteks a few weeks ago. They all looked very nice indeed and were feature rich. |

My Linksys WRT54Gwhatever has served me well for the last four and a bit years. Sadly, it's not an ADSL route, which means it's now second banana to the official Sky Netgear router (and, has been mentioned on here, that is a load of shit, and the first one they sent me was broken and extremely unreliable) |

You can turn them into wireless bridges with the WRT-DD firmware, so they keep on being useful. |

On a sort of tangential note - is it possible to chain two wireless ADSL modem/routers/hubs together. The existing router is upstairs, but the wireless signal downstairs is a bit iffy. I was wondering how tricky it is to put one upstairs, the second downstairs and get them talking to each other to improve the signal strength. |

I'm not sure if it works like that. I do know you can plug stuff into the second wireless router if it's set as a bridge. Which may help if the wireless router has a better ariel than the pc, but would involve wiring the PC to the downstairs router which you might not want. On the other hand maybe it does work like you hope. Sorry, that's a rubbish answer. |

Depends on the software. Some can. My friend has the very setup you describe and I'm planning on implementing it too. He has a couple of Apple jobs that cost both legs, an arm and his left nut. I plan on doing it for significantly less with a couple of WRT54Gs. |

Oh yeah, Apple has those Airport Extender thingmies. I was wondering if the WRT-DD firmware could do that, but I don't know. |

My router is funny with my computer. Can someone come and fix it for me, please? |

If you can describe the problem we could probably make it more dour. |

A long shot because I do this sometimes. Double click on the wireless icon in your system tray Click change advanced settings click the wireless networks tab highlight your network and click properties click on the authentication tab untick the Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network. |
