I don't suppose anyone knows if Amazon are going to add glacier storage
to the Sydney centre soon?
And if not.. what's the performance like of Tokyo vs the USA centres,
from Australia?

Hello All,
I have been asked to buy an ADSL2+ wireless modem-router for a non-tech
friend.
My experiences with wireless modem-routers is varied and probably a bit
out of date.
I have had excellent service from a Dlink DSL-G604T.
Not long ago I bought a Netgear DGN1000 (for same friend) and it was a
complete disaster. It would take something like 20-30 mins to establish an
initial connection with the ISP. The Netcomm (non wireless) that it
replaced would establish a connection in about 1-2 mins, which is about
how long my Dlink takes.
An electrical storm wiped out the Netgear and now I have to find a
suitable replacement.
I wish to avoid the problems we had with the Netgear, and based on my
experience was thinking about a Dlink (2740BR or 2750B) but it occurred to
that maybe all/most of these devices use the same chipset.
Any advice that might help avoid purchasing another disaster would be
greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

I have always had pretty good results from Billion equipment. I use the
7404 range, which may be a bit expensive, but they tend to be good at
holding a connection and they are stable.
I have had less than stellar experiences with a couple of Netgear routers
and WAPs over the years, although their ProSafe switches (the ones with the
blue steel cases) have been fine.

Hi tech list,
Despite living in the inner suburbs, I have a dreadful ADSL sync speed;
around 4.5 mbps, give or take 500kbps. I'm quite a long way from the
Moreland exchange, unfortunately.
There's not much that be done about that.. but I wondered if there are
any ADSL modems that might work a bit better for me? I'm currently on a
Billion 5200 which is getting a bit long in the tooth.
Cheers,
Toby

Good to see the new list up and running. :) Now to add this one to
its own folder. Looking forward to some serious tech discussion -
not only non Linux, but even non computer (other than any necessary
embedded processors or software) tech. :)

Welcome everyone to luv-tech.
Sorry about the delay with getting the list started yesterday. Mailman,
despite all suggestions to the contrary, required genaliases to be rerun.
Anyway, we're here now. Have fun.
All the best,
