| [ADSL] TalkTalk Using Belkin ADSL Wireless Router Am I crazy, or is TalkTalk somehow limiting the number of PCs/laptops concurrently surfing through their connection?
I'm visiting from the US, and I set up my sister-in-law's Belkin F5D8633 Wireless ADSL Modem/Router. PPPoA, if it helps.
Now my nephew's X-Box 360 and my neice's EEpC can surf at the same time, but it seems as if I'm limited to two clients.
I connect with my laptop, but it sometimes seems to kill one of the other client connections. Last night, the X Box was fighting with the main desktop (both wired by Ethernet into the router). When my nephew stopped his game, the desktop could surf, but while he was playing, the desktop kept getting "page cannot be displayed".
Am I just imagining things? Should I just go get a Wireless Access point and use the single-ethernet modem supplied by TalkTalk? Looking at the PC World website, there are loads of Wireless Routers, but I couldn't find an access point.
Also, is it just my relatives, or does everyone in this country switch off their broadband gear at night? At home, I've never turned my cable-modem off, nor have I ever turned off the wireless broadband router that is connected to it.
Thanks for any help.
