Testers needed

Hi all,
I've got a small stack of wireless-N routers that I'd love to share with you all, I just need to ask that you give them a thorough test and comparison to your current router and let us know your thoughts and feelings on a feedback sheet that we'll send out.
I can't go into details about the router make and model but we've given them a thorough test here at Plusnet Towers and they're pretty good.
If you'd like one, have an active Plusnet Broadband account (sorry, not Fibre) and have a little time to complete the feedback then please drop me a PM with your Plusnet username and I'll get one sent out asap.
Numbers are limited and I'll be looking for a variety of customers so I can't promise one to everyone but I'll do my best to share them out fairly Smiley

Re: Testers needed

Are they IPV6 ready/enabled?

Re: Testers needed

They are not IPv6 capable, according to Ben.

Re: Testers needed

Thanks PeteB, to confirm - it's not IPv6 compatible I'm afraid and to pour cold water on Oldjim's theory, they're not related to any other trial that may have be published elsewhere on the forums.

Be good to compare it to my trusty old DG834GT!

Re: Testers needed

And see how it compares with my <crusty> trusty Speedtouch 716Wl  Grin
I have excellent connection speeds with this router and it has been rock solid since I installed it a couple of years ago.
Probably means loosing my voip setup for a while, but I hardly use it anyway  Cry (I could always put the ST in bridge mode and use it as a voip router, if I need to use voip)
Looking forward to having a new toy to play with  Grin Grin

Re: Testers needed

Will we have to pay for P&P ?
Will the router need to be sent back after the evaluation ?

Re: Testers needed

We'll cover p&p, the routers will remain our property but we have no plans to ask for them back after the trial so you can keep them, but no ebaying Wink
