Question Best price for netgear DG834G + WG111?

I've been recommended netgear DG834G + WG111 as a good solution for wireless home networking...

Best price I've seen is £94.98 for a bundle from DABS http://www.dabs.com/uk/productview?quicklinx=38n8

Any better places? - or any better (& cheaper) solutions?

Cheers

Pray you never need to use Netgear's online support, it sucks melons through hosepipes. I've had the misfortune of being on the end of one of their crib-sheeted helpdesk 'staff', and it doesn't matter what you write to them you will get their 'reset procedure' in response. They are so crap I'm taking my broken WG602 back and going with another manufacturer in protest

Netgear's support has been very good for me, the online support that is. Fixed my problem in no time.

Question

I'm quite fortunate to have a 'tame' network guru who advised me on what to get and even came over tohelp with the setup when I had a problem.


- Turned out to be the driver for the ethernet card - XP's driver was completely useless - it needed the one off the floppy disk that camewith it. - on that topic XPsdriver froze My PC when I installed it and now I can't get anywhere if I install that card again - works OK in FILs PC. How can I delete XPs driver or overwrite it without the card in my machine?

I have nothing but praise for Netgear phone support. Rang at 5pm with a router failure. 10 mins on phone (mostly getting model/serial etc) and replacement arrived AM next day.

I haven't tried calling them yet, my only experiences are with the form based support on their site.
