Anyone recommend a router to connect two (2) home computers to allow
access to the internet via Telstraclear cable. Simple installation and
setup, and not too expensive would be great.

Cheers.

I've used the D-link DIR 300 (or 320 if you want a print-server too) -
with great sucess - easy to setup and config for sure.

Thanks to both Donchano and Dave. I've downloaded the manual for both
the units and will spend a little time reading before making a
decision. Both are reasonably priced so it's just a matter to see
which one seems the easiest to setup.

Cheers.

Wont work.
He's wanting a router that works on Telstra Clear CABLE. (not ADSL)

I did what he's wanting to do three weeks ago, link two computers to
allow internet access on Telstra Clear cabe.

Got this one:
D-Link DIS-300
http://search.dse.co.nz/search?w=D-L...30&submit.y=13

Had it on special at the time, $99.00 (now $129.00)
Could pay to shop around knowing DSE prices.

I recomend it as a small basic home network router.

Easy to set up and configure, when you read the manual, and online help
screens and and saves you having to ask silly questions in newsgroups on
how to turn things on and off...

I should add, that Grant @ Tastech told me all the Telstrclear techs buy
the DIR 300/320's too.

I've installed about 15 of them - never had a problem. Easy as pie to
setup.

There's a wee 'trick'...

Set 'em up: Cable modem => D-link DIR300 => PC

1. Cycle the power on the cablemodem - Unplug the power to the cable
modem, wait 10 secs, plug back in. Wait one minute for it to boot up.

2. Now do the same w' the DIR300 or 320. It will now pickup the MAC
from the cablemodem (it *may* *not* do that otherwise).

Run the DIR300 wiz - yer done!

Oh yeah (doesn't seem to affect anything, but), but turn off DHCP on the
cablemodem (as your DIR300 will be doing DHCP now).

Why pay such high price

Ascent has them for $79.13

PP at $84



Or this Level One 108Mbbs

Had a quick run though of the manual and it seems all clear and easy
to setup, thanks.
