If you look at the picture and at the seller description, it's actually a VMG1312-B10A  :baby:

And I thought my Optician was better than Specsavers! :o

Should anyone even  think of that router, even if it is so cheap?

Yes, I would.  :)

(There are many people within the Kitz forum community who could help . . . if help was required.)

Looking at the item, I see a ZyXEL VMG8324-B10A or a ZyXEL VMG8924-B10A. Without sight of the label on the rear of the unit I am unable to determine which it is . . .

Like this? Yes, just use the [url][/url] tags or use the second icon, on the second row, above the compose/edit window.

Because somebody has purchased it in the time between me mentioning it and you looking!

Sorry but I cannot control the natural flow of time.  :no:

There is another used one, listed as "buy it now", for £25-00.

Dither over it and it will be gone.

I learnt some time last year that posting links to possibly cheap zyxel/etc devices on this forum resulted in them being snapped up or going for over the odds.

I guess this is the nexus for people interested in them. Maybe moving such discussion into the registered only places, or just keeping it between individuals would help? Not sure.

There's a vmg 8324B10A use on Ebay for a tesco tenner
Code: [Select]
ZyXEL VMG8324-B10A router...  good condition... slight marks on unit from general display...All fittings, Cd, instructions, leads etc... full working order....Only selling as  moving changed to BT package and new router.
From other items selling or sold are defo feminine, so can I be sure it is not locked something else about it.

There was only one bid submitted and so I wonder who will eventually be taking delivery of the above device?  :hmm:

I thought to have commented on the tenner router, that it was a Hull (KCom's) issue item. Anyhow not me, but I have taken the plunge, buying a vmg 8324 @£25, now in post. :fingers:
