Re: xAP & RIO/netgear router help/advice needed ;o)

["Dan McGarry" <daniel.mcgarry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also have a Netgear router, its the WGT624.  It's causing me
problems getting a link on both of my Rio's.  I'll probably end up
putting my old trusty 10/100 hub back in (which, funnily enough is
also a netgear).  I'm not particularly impressed by the WGT624's
routing and networking capabilities, but the wireless signal is the
best I've seen (Its probably cooking my brain as i type)
