    Ok So I am just back from PC World (Shh:p ) with a new Linksys router. Not a modem.
    The last 2 I have had was both a modem/router so I didnt realise that this was any differnt...
    1 of which doesnt have wireless, bog standard from eircom [Netopia Cayman 3341]
    The 2nd is a belkin wireless one that takes for ever to issue IP's and work if it even does it.

    So since I am modem less and cant quite take another trip to PC world or a shop of the like:
    Can I turn 1 of the modem/routers into jsut a modem so I could connect it to the Linksys wireless router and be happy?

    If the older modem/router supports bridging it may achieve what you want.

    How would I find this out? If i right click the connection in windows and it says "bridge connection" does that count?

    This is a guide from the Smart telecom forums, but it's not Smart specific, but it should give you an idea of the things you're looking for.
