    [I've been through a good few threads here, but I'm not really finding an answer.]

    Anyone got any recommendations for me on an all-in-one bosca to handle DSL and local area networking? I see lots of modems, hubs, switches and routers; some with wireless capability and some without; some with firewalls, some without. The ultimate for me would be a single box that does everything, configurable from the browser and with wireless capability, faster the better. Failing that, I'd like a nice simple modem that can hand off to a bosca that can do everything but the DSL stuff. So, any recommendations?

    Most of the wireless boxen are "broadband routers", rather than "DSL routers", so you need a seperate modem. Off hand, the only "DSL router" that supports wireless that I can think of is the Solwise.

    Feature wise, one of the most interesting wireless routers that I've come across is the ASUS Spacelink which includes support for USB memory cards, and has a built in FTP server. And at €146, it's an good price, but you will need a modem too.

    Netgear does a wireless router with a DSL modem built-in (I think D-Link does too), but it's 802.11b and that would be too slow for my LAN. I ended up going for separates, I've bought a Netgear DM602 standalone DSL modem with Ethernet and USB outputs, and I'll buy the WGT624 802.11g wireless router later.
