I'm assuming that you mean the e-tech adsl ethernet router; which I'm happily using with 3 PCs and an Xbox. Works a treat, although one drawback if you are not totally familiar with configuring the router is that the manual was in Dutch! That said they are pretty easy to set up if you have a bit of a clue and access to some decent technical support on the ISP end of things. The manual has screen grabs and dutch isn't that hard to figure out

Works with Xbconnect/Gamespy if Xboxing is important. NAT, VPN, Virtual Server etc. One handy thing is that there is an extra USB port so if anyone brings round a laptop with no ethernet card they can plug in.

Netsource were great helping me set up after the authentication method (PAP) didn't work, it seems this router requires it set to Auto and then all is well. afaic it's a bargain at 144 euro, Good luck!

Hey,
I bought one when i signed up for I-stream starter, Works a treat!
Very happy with it, the manual is a bit dodge but the screen pictures are a great help!
The USB is very handy (as MadsL said) for mates who just pop round with their laptop and steal all my bandwidth!!
Good luck with it and Enjoy Broadband!!!!

I think I'll go for this e-tech adsl ethernet router. You sounded convincing enough!
I also live just 2 minutes from the shop...
Thanks!

Save yourself a few pennies, buy it off dabs, even with the high 25 shipping it works out at €114 at todays exchange rate.

I ordered it from DABS. Thanks!
It seems pretty difficult to set up, but with the help of the forum people eventually...

got mine last week and got switched on monday ,
Thought how the hell am i going to sort this out , but with the quick set up guide and the netsource user name and password miracously it connected ,
Then pc no2 was attempted , just went to the routhers ip addy as per manual and all settings were already installed through pc no1 so it was ready to go in 30 seconds!
Now this might all make sence to someone who knows what they are doing , but to me it was a leap of faith!!
