      Now if my line passes I'll have to buy myself a router/modem combo. I was thinking of the Netgear DG814 model just checking the specs shortly.

        When you own your own business you only have to work half a day. You can do anything you want with the other twelve hours.

              ever considered Linksys? The luxury brand in routers

              I am using a USR... not too good IMO... the power connector is somewhat "loose" and the design looks crappy (i.e. a black box, not too much to see there )

                  Well the lead time is 7 to 10 days so I've got a bit of wait.
                  I have considered Linksys but one dealer I deal with on a regular basis doesn't stock them.

                            IMO, if you have a laptop or 2 at home then WiFi is the way to go!

                              I haven't and I wouldn't want my neighbours hi jacking my bandwidth. You wouldn't know what they're downloading.
