    Folks, does anyone know of a combined ISDN Wirless Hub? My friend cant get broadband by dsl or wireless for at least another 6 to 8 months. They have ISDN Installed and use wireless laptops. I've used 3com ISDN Lan modems before and I could combine one with a wirelss access point but they're notorious for dialling up when you dont want them to! If there was an all in one solution I'd go for that! All help greatly appreciated!

    Look for the models with an 'i' at the end of their model name.

    No, DrayTek's aren't the cheapest in the world, I'll give you that. They tend to be quite full-featured though with all kinds of nice features like QoS, VOIP, multiple VPN's, VLAN support etc. plus the wireless side tends to be very good, i.e. powerful.

    Did you have any issues with unwanted dialup fees? In situations like this before I've put the router on a timer and use a fixed rate fee for 30 or 40 hours a week.

    Actually i did..The slightest thing msn, anti virus etc etc would cause it to connect. So i used to go in to the router configuration page connect and disconnect it myself..I forget the exact type of router i had i remember it was an ISDN barricade think 3 com made it but it a very simple set up / config which only took a couple of seconds to do.:)

    I had the 3com one aswell and it was part of a medium sized network in a few places I was supporting that couldnt get Broadband. It worked very well but the only way to fix the cost was a price plan from eircom and a timer that knocked it off after 6pm in the evening! Left unattended on a multi user network it could run up a scary bill!
