Hi
Has anyone got their Sky router replaced?
My Sagem was great when I got it, desktop connected directly & two
laptops wirelessly in adjacent rooms all on line.

Now the laptops are loosing connections or can't get connected even in
the same room as the desktop

Nothing physical has changed &the router is still in the same position

I'd rather have a Netgear

Have you tried turning everything off and back on?

I don't think there is any chance of that now. I think sky are now
simply using the newest one which was the Sagem. I had a router
replaced recently and it was the Sagem. I terms of wireless
performance there was no difference between the DG834GT and Sagem
wireless.

2.4Ghz interference?
Have you surveyed for neighbouring AP's?
Have you tried other channels?

Basically a Wireless Access point, so does not have any of the
features like an ADSL modem built in.
