    Recently upgraded to Eircom 3meg connection, but our old wired netopia modem has crapped out on us and keeps dropping connection at random intervals. So looking for a new wireless modem for the connection. Will be Xbox, laptop, Wii and home PC running through it. Any suggestions?

    If the router is dropping out on you it is more than likely a line problem rather than a router problem. Lots of people are having similar problems since the upgrades have a look at the broadband forum there are lots of related threads there. Get your line stats thats the first step.

    Cheers, have posted over there too to try and resolve the issue.
    However, we still need to replace our current wired netopia modem with a wireless one, so just wondering what router to pick up, since eircom didn't inform us there was no new modem included in the upgrade we ordered?
