qscqscqsc 0 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I have a wired router connected to the adsl connection, but there isnt any way to see what speed of coonection i have to the net. ANyone know the name of some software that could show this? what is the difference between an adsl1 and 2 router?? According to the blokee on the phone my line can go uptp 6.5meg, but is it limited by which router i use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4ever 0 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Speed test: http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/ Your router (unless it's REALLY old) is fine for 6.5meg, ADSL1 goes up to 8meg and ADSL2+ goes up to 24meg I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themags 0 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 what make and model of router are you using mate? Most these days contains a built in hardware firewall so you should be pretty well protected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
