    [SOLVED] Setup advice or KVM recommendation ?

    Thanks. Your particular model doesn't seem to appear in the Amazon UK list, but I could look for something similar. The USB switch specs seems more simple than any advertised KVM.

    Hey gang, My current DG834PN modem/router which I've been using for years seems to be dying as it is dropping wireless devices on a daily basis at random times/events with the only solution being to reboot the router. It also no longer detects my TV and Sky box. I have 1 wired desktop PC...
