Problems with NTL Broadband wireless

    Hi guys, have a bit of a problem and I'm wondering if anyone in here can help

    In our house we've two laptops and an xbox 360 trying to connect wirelessly to the standard NTL netgear router

    Basically the router will only accept two of the above at any one time, and to get the other laptop or xbox on to the network we have to reset the router, which knocks out one of the other things

    It's getting absolutely ridiculous at this stage having to reset it at least two or three times a day, and the NTL customer support were absolutely useless

    Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to get the three things onto the network at the same time?

    And if you do could you expain it in as simply as poss, I'm a bit of a noob with this sort of thing

    Cheers guys

    Have you tried updating the router's firmware? you should be able to find a newer version here, but it can be a tricky process if you're not too familiar with that side of things...
    That sorted out a few of my issues, but it's still an unbearably crap router if you have more than 2 people using it at the same time.

    Do yourself a favour and buy yourself a decent router, I went for a Linksys WRT54GS and haven't looked back since. (I have a PS3, Wii, DS, PSP and 3 laptops all running off it wirelessly and a PC and xbox 360 wired)
