Bit late but I just got one of these Belkin routers to replace the 4 year old SpeedTouch at my parents house. Set it up this weekend I barely touched all the crazy options it has.

surely theres a way to set up some sort of proxy system so that anything he downloads over your connection re-directs to Rick Astley?

Surely theres someone around here with the sort of twisted but brilliant mind that they could do that?

and if not, then damnit why not?

Quote from: soopahflyThat said, I use a hateful Netgear DG834N now.
If youre not getting the full line speeds, it would be worth getting a Netgear as you can use 3rd party firmware and adjust your own SNR.
Im supposed to get 1.5mb - 2mb where I am, but I can tailor my line to get the best out of it.
Is this readily available on the net? Ime very interested in this as Im in more or less the same situation.

Actually most people cant justify over £250 for a router.  While I personally would like something Cisco related, I wouldnt buy one for home use even if I did have the spare cash, because you know, I would sooner have a week away somewhere warm with my £250!

^ What he said. I cant justify much over £100, and Id imagine most home users are similar. Mind you knighty is hardly a normal home user :D

Exactly I got the Belkin becuase its £40, Wifi-N, 300Mbs and it replaced a £30 SpeedTouch that worked fine for 4 years.

Does what it says on the tin and Im happy with that :)

While this is fair enough...none of your suggestions will solve Kinghtys problem (which this thread is about) whereas Marks will.

I should clarify (before someone gets anal) that by this i mean none of your router suggestions will solve Knightys problem. The superglue thing would work a treat.

Shrinking the IP pool down to what is needed, and then using the IP Address reservation table will work fine.  I used to live a shared house, and that was the setup I used when one of the cockends decided that torrenting on a connection he wasnt paying for, and didnt have any right to use was fine.  Plug it in, no IP address.  Manually set the IP address, no joy etc etc.  Took a little setting up, but worked fine for the grand total of £60 for a DG834GT.

Disable DHCP and change the IP range?

Certainly I reckon doing something like the glue thing combined with any of the routing options is worth a shot, if you ruin the router with the glue etc you were going to fork out £250 anyway...

Whats a good WAP to go with that router? Or is it best to get one with intergrated wireless?
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

Defeating that security setup would be trivial.
