    Hey folks, need some advice on a router.

    I am using leap.ie as my ISP and it's their wireless broadband service.

    So basically I have a wireless antenna, cat 5 running to an SU unit, then from the SU a crossover cable to my PC.

    Now i've been looking at setting up a wireless network however I will need a router for the job. So I tried an Eircom DSL router which I later found out will not work with that type of BB. IBB is the same apperently for those of you who have experience with them.

    So I am looking for a Router + Switch (basically an all in 1 job) that will support this type of BB connection and allow wireless access.

    If anyone who knows what I need can help, much appreciated.

    Ta V Much.

    Are you looking for a wireless router + wired switch combo or just an wired router/switch?

    Pretty much every wireless router has the functionality that you specified. So long as the WAN port is ethernet, not DSL or other.
    Eg http://www.komplett.ie/k/kl.asp?bn=10282 all but one has what you requested. (offhand, for a home user my choice from that page would be the linksys mimo)

    Am I missing something? If you can provide the details of the 'SU unit' and the eircom router that is not suitable (presumably a netopia specifically for DSL to ethernet)
