Any router recommendations for MIRC? #172887 17/03/07 05:25 PM

tom_smith577 T	Hi, I'm thinking of buying a new router and wondered if anyone could recommend an 'MIRC-friendly' model. For example, one that is known to 'resume' okay. Thanks in advance. Last edited by tom_smith577; 17/03/07 05:25 PM.

This model is strictly wired, but D-Link does have wireless and wired/wireless as well. The only problem I had (and occasionally still have) is if I lose my DSL connection and end up reconnecting with a different IP (as assigned by my ISP)

tom_smith577 T	Thanks Russel. Can you confirm that downloads 'resume' okay after a dropped connection? Anyone else got any recommendations?
