ADDON GWAR3500 Router

[Stead]

Just wondering if anyone has heard of a company called Addon? I bought a router recently on ebay (first mistake) was very cheap, and i thought it would be a good test to see if its my router or the network card as for some reason the range of the router doesn't seem to reach my comptuer anymore, even tho it has done fine for years...

I have to admit the range on this router is amazing (considering how cheap it was anyway), vista is currently showing 'Very good' 4 out of 5 bars, the netgear one I could only ever get one bar (router is in the same place) sometimes i've had 2 bars, but usually the connection quality was poor or very poor, it never had more than 2 bars siginal strength.

The router has many more options than the netgear, seems like it could be quite good, so far issues i've had

DHCP server doesn't seem to work with vista. (works fine on an old PII with 2000 installed)

Wired networking seems impossible to configure (only tried with vista, network card is built in so don't have another to try, although the card works fine with the netgear router)

Wireless won't connect after several hours (not sure about wired as it won't connect at all)

I have a Wii console which won't connect when the router is set to b & g modes, when i change it only vista will connect at will only connect at 1mb, change the setting back, have just emailed techinical support, but since i've never heard of the company before just thought i'd see if anyone else has heard of one, i've found another forum which someone posted simular problems to me, overall the poster seemed impressed with the router, apart from the connectivity issues (took 4 hours to get it working)

i'm just annoyed at how good the siginal is! if that was bad I would simply get another router, but i've tried other routers which brag about superiour range and nothing has come close to the siginal strength of this one.
