    I have bt ireland BB and use Zyxel 630 modem. Can I use this piece of kit 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2+ Modem/Router + USB Adapter and is it easy to install. I went on Bt ireland bb site but totally lost.

    They dont state what modem they supoort for wireless.

    I am getting a latop and it will have draft n facility so would I be better off getting a wireless modem that suports N or MIMO specs? I hate all these cahmges so would like to get as future proof spec from the outset as possible.

    Will this work

    Belkin N1 Wireless Router

    I have BT and had so much trouble with the Zxyel that I threw it out (Zxyel is a a €20 euro router that BT charge you €33 euro for) and bought a netgear rangemax WPN824 Mimo which came with a ranngemax usb adapter . Works a dream! I needed to connect 2 pc's rather than a pc and a laptop. The netgeatr also has WEP and WAP security features built in . I would definately recommend it - its also very easy to set up . I had a belkin usb adapter which didn't work very well.

    I got this router and cant get it to work, i am with BT Esat, got router from dabs in UK!! I tried with wizard but it asks for IP address and then for DNS addresses. Lost I'm afraid.

    I can get it to connect pc to router but it will not connect to netgear webpage. What am I missing, I checked PW as well. And I let it through my kerio firewall but should I disable that completely? Going a cup of coffee and then that cd is calling.
