Router for Irish Broadband

    Asked this before and someone kindly pointed me towards D-link DI-514 .. but Elara (and elsewhere) never seem to have it in stock (discontinued)

    So how about this one from Komplett - http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?action=info&sku=119947&p=&t=1735&l=3&AvdID=1&CatID=19&GrpID=16&cks=PRL

    It's an "SMC Barricade Wireless G 54 Mbps 802.11g, 4-port switch"

    Basically all I'm looking for is a Router (firewall) with following features
    - Can use my Irish BB connection (static IP) .. some routers specifically say DSL/ADSL so I guess I can't use these.
    - Wireless capability (802.11b is fine .. laptop is not 802.11g) .. I'm not interested in transferring Gbs of data round my network and am ulimately limited by the speed of my internet connection.
    - Ethernet Port that I can plug my Desktop straight into the router (dont' want to connect the desktop on wireless)

    I'm 99.99% sure this product on Komplett will do the job .. just want to make sure because want to be sure I buy the right thing !

    Many thanks for your expertise

    Based on the specs, it'll do the job. (Not a bad price either).
