Which eircom supplied router is best?

Neil_Sedaka · 2013-03-02 13:50:12

I'm looking to replace a tired old WI-FI router and I see lots of eircom supplied ones for sale on Adverts. There's a lot of different makes, models and prices. Can anyone suggest one with good coverage and sync speed? Are any of the eircom supplied ones wireless N? Thanks.

Always found the Netopia to be the best of the Eircom supplied routers. Very reliable and rarely drop signal. . i rarely get above 3.5mbps but have never had a technical problem in over 3 years. The Zyxel ones are about as useful as a brick.

Yeah, the Motorolla Netopia is miles better than the crappy black Zyxel one they supply. The Zyxel suffers with a wpa re-authentication issue where it kicks wireless clients and makes them re-authenticate every few minutes making it useless for gaming or anything that needs continuous connection.
