Hi, looking for anyone who has successfully set up a wireless router with this modem (Gilat Skyedge IP) and recommendations re make and model. Thanks!

Yes, I have. You may need an X-over cable between the modem and the router.

Any particular wireless router you would recommend?

I have used several different brands of wireless routers over the time with BN on the Skyedge modem.
Netgear gave the best performance and then Asus routers. I still use the same brands on Ipstar now.

Thanks - Internet Service Provider is Bordernet so will look at Netgear routers - I believe you need a crossover cable to get it to work? Right?

Use the supplied cable from Border Net (crossover) between your modem and router, then use straight cables from the router to other PC's or add on equipment.

Hi, I am using the Gilat Skyedge IP (Dragnet) and I have a wireless router. The router I am using is a Linksys WRT54G which works perfectly. My son can be on the main computer and I'll be on the second computer and I'll be downloading on the second one (which is the slave unit) at the same speed as if I was on the main one.

You can't go wrong with Netgear Routers. I've been using them for 6+ years now and haven't had a problem with them.

Thank you all for the responses. I think I'll try a Linksys WRT54G wireless router.
All advice much appreciated.
