That product comes with a DIR-615 router.
It is only a router, It isnt a  modem so wont be able to connect to karoo on its own.

Do you need a 802.11 draft-n router do you need to transfer large files wirelessly?

Picked up a Thomson ST585v6 on ebay couple weeks ago for £11

Miken thankx for the reply i cant say how greatfull i am i was about too buy it via a catolouge cause im studying at the mo & although i was told it would be ok by friends you made a vital observation!!

one last thing then if you dont mind can you suggest any of these routers for karoo please..?

Seems similar to the one you where originally looking at but it is also a modem to would work.

Do you really need such an expensive router though? Never had any problems with cheap 802.11G routers. Netgear DG834G and Thomson ST585v6 are popular routers and at least half the price of that.

Hi again Miken, the problem ive got is i dont have any spare cash at mo so the catalouge is the best solution for me at this moment, but i do agree why spend all that when i dont need too..
thankx once again!

Surely that will do the job just as well but a tad cheaper if he has to go with a catalouge.
If new customer you get a freebie from Karoo.

Robo many thankx, omg its getting cheaper everyday.lol

i'm so please you both have given me a idea of what will work here in hull, i would of spent £90 and for it to of NOT worked had i not of found this forum, so it looks like Robo's router is best for price & connectivity with a decent speed is it.?

[miken]

Yeah, but depending whether your other pc's have built in wireless and wont be directly wired you may also need usb adapters which I can only find for £30 each on that site.

Miken hi, i will only be using two pc's one with Xp Pro & the other with Vista Ultimate 64, the one with xp is a old P4 thats my son's (He's only 6) he plays on kids site's whereas ive got a Dell XPS 720 H2C

So as you see i need a decent router but i know nothing of them cause ive been using a modem (Speedtouch 330) & i know its hard to belive but i managed with it but now im sick of superslow speeds & getting dissconnected plenty of times a day, ive been in touch with KC & we did a variation of test's & it boiled down to my modem, when i finally told them i was using a old speedtouch the guy laughed when i told him what pc i have (Xps) he said i MUST get a decent router to appreciate the Xps besides he said the speedtouch isnt ADSL2...

i hope this gives u a better idea..so its the £50 router then do you think.? as "Robo" stated
