I have this router - no issues.
Ring Karoo, could be a line problem.

Are you using it wireless? I know when I used a Thomson the automatic channel selection was rubbish and constantly dropping the wifi, but when I specified the channel it was ok. But give karoo a ring and get them to check your line as well.

Yeah they are a bit cheap no question but suppose it depends what you do with it, mine handles three laptops (wireless) 2 XBoxe's (wireless) my PS3 & Mac (Hard-wired) perfectly well now after some software updates were done by Karoo tech service...  It does the job perfectly for me... |
