    NETGEAR MR814 802.11b Wireless Router.

    the plan is, to use it to bring together all my PC's. 2 wifi enabled laptops, and a desktop (with onboard ethernet, but no spare PCI slots for a wifi card) and my newly installed IOLBB DSL connection.

    i've read a bit about it and know it's got a NAT firewall and some other good security features, but does it have enough, and are they easy(ish) to set up?

    does anyone have any experience fo this router they'd like to share/warn me about?

    thnx in advance.

    No specific experience, just a general recommendation - get an 11g box. It will still be compatible with your existing 11b gear, and you won't have to upgrade it when you change to 11g.

    was just after a cheap one of now. going very cheap on ebay, so it was my first choice.

    I'll be moving house next year (buying first home) and will go for 802.11n then, but just a s a quick fix now, I wanted something I could use with my existing wifi hardware.

    thanks for the advise though, it's always welcome.
