    I'm going to the states in a few weeks and I'm hoping to pick up a cheap all in one wireless router/modem. I have been having a look at some sites and it seems that some of the routers have an ADSL2 modem built in. Would this type of modem work here? BTW I'm with UTV if it makes any difference

    I'd advice you to get a Broadband router, that doesn't include any type of modem. The advantage being that you can continue to use the router in future if you were to move to a different standard like cable BB, wireless, VDSL, etc.

    They are nearly always 110-240v transformers so they work perfectly here, bar the 2 pin plug.


    Also check the specs on them, most of the linksys ones are both adsl and adsl2 compatible

    How much of a saving are you going to make that would justify the bother and the risk of it going wrong?

    No idea to be honest, and if it's not substantial I won't bother getting one in the states. I just wanted to have some knowledge of potential issues in case I do see a good bargain.
    Thanks for the advice

    I think it's totally not worth it, to bother for maybe 10 euro difference?
