Impressive.  |
Really nice router, Works in the same way as the Linksys BEFSR41. This model is suitable for the user that requires more then 4 computers to access the internet as it provides 8 ports 10/100base ports. It can be wall mounted and stays cool.When connecting this router to the an NTL cable modem or STB, the only thing you need to do is make sure the cable modem or STB is powered off before you connect/disconnect any cables. After you connect the router, power up the cable modem or STB and follow the on screen instructions provided by NTL when you first visit a webpage with no need to configure any of the Linksys settings. Basically with the Linksys router, you just plug it in and it works. Very easy to setup, although when updating the firmware you will lose any admin settings youve changed on the router. Not a problem as it only takes a minute to set up.

There is no doubt about it the Archos 6000 is an impressive piece of kit. It is a lot smaller than I expected and very easy to use. The manual is basic in the extreme but it is enough to get you going, and you can find a lot of online reviews which tell you all about the firmware fixes. For instance to change the volume press the "+" or "-" buttons at the same time as pressing the "on" button. The USB transfer of music file is fast and painless but it does eat batteries in this mode so make sure you have the DC adapter in when you initially transfer your music collection. My only point of contention with the device is with the current firmware which does not allow you to play random tracks across sub-directories but this seems to be a common gripe and hopefully a firmware upgrade will fix this. All in all this is the best high storage mp3 player I have seen, the fact that it doubles as a portable hard disk is just icing on the cake!

Happy (mostly!)  |
Like: Massive storage, quality sound, loud with bud-style headphones, highly portable, no skips (yet!), fast transfer from PC, can store any dataDislike: No remote (pain), hard-disk contents mysteriously vanished on first use (had to reformat it - luckily only had a few tracks, hasnt happened since I fully charged the batteries), Playlists only work if theyre in the same directory as the tracks - cant span multiple directories... Overall: great product, even better if Archos release a remote and keep the firmware updates coming...
