Hi All

Had 50mb installed and got the WNR2000 but thinking of buying a D-Link 855.

Question: is the WNR2000 ours to keep so could i sell it to fund my D-Link ?

They are property of VM, but only have a warranty for 2 years. Therefore, I assume that after 2 years they wouldn't care about what happens to the router, since they won't be bothered about replacing it.

When did you have it installed? I had mine installed yesterday and got the D-Link DIR-615.

They are switching to D-Link (for XL and XXL customers) but still have some old stock of Netgears.

VM are supporting both the Netgear and D-Link routers.

Saturday 22nd Aug, the modem and USB stick had the engineers nat on it with delivery date of July time.

Dlink 615 is ok but the 655 or 855 are brilliant gaming routers!

I wondered this as well. I had my power supply blow last week for it and asked vm via newsgroups for a new power supply. The next day i had a brand new wnr2000 from a ups guy! So i now have 2 routers and 1 power supply....

What is the exact name of this particular newsgroup where I can speak to VM employees?

They say it belongs to them but never ask for the router back.
