Netgear DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway review
Reviews The RJ11 lead, we found, could also plug into the RJ45 wall-socket in our office, left over from a previous (BT-installed) DSL service. And, if Netgear’s DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway is anything to go by, they could well be right.

The future of wireless review
Reviews Actual throughput was closer to 6Mbps, but that's still four times faster than the data streaming in through a typical DSL modem. This technology supports speeds as high as 70Mbps and a range of up to 30 miles, making it ideal for large corporate...

Buffalo AirStation WBR-G54 review
Reviews It doesn't have a DSL interface, so you'd need an external Ethernet DSL gateway -- of which there are few available. Once into the interface, you're presented with three options: DSL, CATV (Cable modem) and Advanced.

Windows XP: help review
Reviews Because Windows is so graphically intense, Remote Assistance works best over a fast Internet connection, such as DSL or cable. But you can scale down the screen resolution and visual features to make the performance tolerable on slower DSL or dial...

Actiontec Wireless-Ready Multimedia Home Gateway review
Reviews A further Ethernet port allows connection to a cable or DSL modem should you have one. The 'Wireless-Ready' part of this product's name means that, on its own, the Gateway has no wireless functionality.

Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS datacard review
Reviews The caveat, though, is that 3G -- like DSL -- is a contended service, so bandwidth is shared between the various 3G users in each cell. This, Vodafone says, is all you need to get broadband access on the move.

Orange 3G Mobile Office Card review
Reviews Remember that, just like DSL, 3G is a contended service with bandwidth shared among all the users in a particular cell. Orange immediately attacked on the pricing front, undercutting Vodafone with an unlimited access package for £75 a month.
