Ok a few months a go I walked into PC World to pick up a laptop cooler and get some advice. Whilst waiting in the queue I over heard the woman at the front, say her Router wasn't working. She asked for a replacement or her money back. Ok said the guy got to ask a few questions. Was it windy outside? Yes the lady replied. THats your problem he blurted out, the wind was blowing your signal away. I burst out laughing, so much so that security had a word. I never heard so much bull**** in my life. Anyway I pointed out to the woman, that there is a button that opens the router up for 1 minute, that allows wireless connections threw. its added security to stop people stealing your net. The woman gave me her number and asked me to help her set it up, and I did and it worked.

Now I never thought any thing of it till today, I was looking for a Laptop for my girlfriend for Xmas.

This was the one I was looking at. And I read more bull****.

It just helps your Laptop run better, run better programs and the more RAM the faster it should be.

I'd be interested to learn on which model of router this function appears.

Its on Speed touch routers, in the middle. I used to have one myself, but when AOL replaced it, they sent me a rubbish one. I wouldn't recommend Speedtouch they are poor technology, and cut ur speed for no reason. Ok restarting solves it, but its bloody annoying.
