    Hi Guys,
    Has anybody used a wireless router succesfully with Digiweb Metro Cable 8MB Broadband?
    I have tried Linksys & Netgear cable broadband routers to allow me to connect wirelessly to the Digiweb Thomson Cable Modem. Nothing but problems. Using a Netgear N Router now and my adapters are G-type which shouldn't matter due to backward compatability. Wired direct to modem I can connect fine and get the speed but wirelessly the problems range from only being able to connect one pc wirelessly at a time instead of 2-3pc's simultaneously, really really slow wireless internet speed, connection dropping & pretty much everything. Rang Digiweb and got the "Ring the manufaturer" fob off. My wireless G adapters range from Realtek, Intel Pro to Buffalo.
    Any ideas or configuration suggestions please? Think I will go back to BTBroadband - wireless 3MB worked perfectly & a lot faster and consistently!
    Thanks
