good for you..

The ADSL connection at our office is all hard wired so no probs here at all.. may get a wireless one for here, think one of the switches is wireless enabled, just need card for a laptop and an id for it on the server, just for meetings etc, when we use the conference room and the need arises to show someone something on the internet, think it would look a lot better if i had a laptop floating around which i could show clients etc rather then trying to show then on my pc in my office after the meeting..

hmm.. **** knows which one to buy then..
VA yours probably keeps messing up as u have a mac..!

that actually is very decent spec for price it seems..
the only worrying thing i can see about that is where it says:

"DSL Connection for Cable Customers", we're on BT Broadband.. will that effect it?

Actually, having said anything from Linksys is OK - that is actually a sh*t one. I tried to get one of those working once for a client and had no joy, even got an identical replacement and still very shaky. Got a Linksys unit in the end and all was well.

At home I have a Draytek Vigor wireless switch/router, but I chose it based on it's VPN capabilities (which I needed at the time for work)... and it's a great device, but wasn't particularly straightforward to set up. Newer models might be easier.

Go for the Linksys unit, Kam... if it doesn't suit you down to the ground VA will eat his hat. I don't know why you're having problems with yours VA, I've rolled out a few of these with no trouble at all.

YES!!!!

Beware you don't get a cable modem (i.e. for NTL users). You must get an ADSL modem... and often the model numbers are just one letter out. Sorry, should have mentioned that.
