    Does anyone know of any Wireless DSL Router with a wired switch also? I've been looking around and a lot of ones look promising but they don't include a DSL Modem-if you read the ickle print!

    Or a decent package that contains them? I found a nice enough D-Link package but it's about £200 Sterling. :-/

    Thanks!

    Or you could buy seperates? .. might work out the same or a bit more expensive, but if your modem/router/4 port switch dies at least you still have wireless..

    Which ISP Broadband ISP are you with?

    I can't get my DSL-604+ working with IOL at all.

    DSL-604+ is very nice. Except i couldn't figure out how to switch wireless off - I just don't want it on all the time esp when I sleep near it.

    SachaJ:
    from what it looks to me IOL operates over PPPoE (or something like that), I'm not sure that D-LINK supports it. Based on my knowlege (extremely limited I have to say) it's technically impossible to make it work.

    Shame though, such a nice modem.

    Thanks guys... I'm gonna take a look see now.

    I'm gonna be using IOL btw.

    As far as I know ALL DSL uses PPPoE. I know that Eircom does. PPPoE is simply PPP(Point-to-Point) over Ethernet. So any non usb dsl gear, i.e. ethernet gear needs to support PPPoE.
