What is the Router mate, make/model etc...?

They are netgear, the wee white ones. Don't know exact model. They put their own firmware on them, which is very basic. I found it more difficult to setup the wireless than I did my own netgear cos of their firmware

[a_sagad]

I just tried this, but the woman on the other end goes,

"Only for customers who have 20mb connection"

This is a load of bo*****ks

 

[luap25]

do you think you could take there software of and put the proper firmware on

 

[Messa]

I got one just by asking for it, I am on 20mb though.

@ #12 I have been looking into removing firmware and putting 3rd party on but no luck yet.
