  • I have first hand experience - Using the router now - firstly bear in mind that you will only be able to use 3 LAN ports, but you can get around this by using any old router as a bridge, which is what I have done, via homeplugs, so I have 2 ports available in one room, and 3 in another!


    forwarding ports is fine, and simple once you realise how. Rules are configured in "Game & Application Sharing" - and you can also fix devices to specific IP addresses.


    I have made do with the tg582n, so it may well suit your needs. You also have a USB port and an FTP server built in so you can have a USB HDD plugged straight in the router and access it over the internet via FTP.


    Also bear in mind - if you get stuck, I have the router, so you can flex your VIP status muscles and give me a shout:red:

    If I take a while to respond, you can see why.....

  • Brilliant great advice and looking forward. Think I will use a switch for the other hard wired networked device in the house!


    Thanks for the off of help Musogeek, may well take you up on that if I'm strugling.

    How long does the transition from broadband to fibre take?


    All I can say to this is I hope you don't have the same experience as I had:rant:


    Supposed to be done in half a day, but I was without broadband for nearly 2 weeks, however I changed providers at the same time as upgrading to fibre so if you are already with Plusnet at least you should keep the ADSL if things go tits up!
