The current free wireless router is at one point on site described as having 4 ethernet ports, at another point it is described as being just by wireless connection (10 of them).
Can somebody please just tell me the manufacturer and model number, so I can check the manufacturer's site for accurate details before ordering.
Thanks, John

where did you get your info from as the sales FAQ has this
Quote However, when you signup for Plusnet broadband you can choose a free new 1-port wired or 4-port wireless router if you want to. In the event of a national postal strike, we may use an alternative courier to avoid delays with delivery. Check our Community Site for announcements on this

From here: https://portal.plus.net/apps/account/change/618077/Hardware ; - hover on the "more info" link.
And here: http://www.plus.net/ - click on "Read more info"
The answer was so simple when you know where to click!
The Thomson is a definite improvement on what I have now so should do nicely.
Many thanks to you for info
Looking for ward to improved speeds as putting in completely new and simplified telephone wiring and all the old and wonky phones.

The Thomson 585v7 Wireless Router is a good router in my opinion for the average user -
but some of the techie guys here find it doesn't have some features they would want - which is fair enough.
The wireless performance is good, covers the who of my house.
I have both Netgear and one of these Thomson's and to be honest - I rarely connect up the Netgear .
I agree with those who say it would be good if PN could offer a Netgear as an alternative for extra cost - but they who have to support that too

Support for the Netgear is trivial. It's such a good and popular modem/router (the v4).
The 585v7 IMHO from posts on these boards has too many bugs & faults. Alright when it works, providing you don't want to tinker (no Target SNRM tweaks). I get the impression from Gamers it can be difficult to set up for some games.
