SO
Cable modem went boom, and I don't have time to f*** around waiting for a telstra technician. I have been using the standard Motorola modem (which has been good) coupled with a WGR614V6. I've been less and less impressed with the Netgear router so I am leaning towards one unit. Just chasing some opinions on the SBG900, I would appreciate any input/opinions (Also where should I buy it?) |

I've got one of those SB5100 (black Motorola) you can have as I don't have BP Cable anymore.
PM me if you want it. |

Don't go near netgear, the SBG900 ok but it's wireless sucks.

my netgear network cards work flawlessly with each other and with my linksys/dlink routers. What do you expect though spook, you use IE and believe 4 doors are better than 2.

Only thing to watch out for with the SBG900 is no UPnP, so you'll have to manually configure port forwarding for P2P apps. |

Just get the normal sb5100 replacement and buy yourself a decent router and do some research.

I was about to post saying "as if so many people would have a spare cable modem lying around".
Guess what, seems I do too :) |

not sure but I think I still even have that big old brick of a modem that BPA first used. Not that it's of any use to anyone anymore.
