IBB & Wireless Router

    I finally got IBB installed yesterday after 11 months of "we'll be installing broadband in your area in 2 weeks".

    Now I need to get myself set up correctly i.e. wireless.
    I have been given a ADSL wireless router but I'm not sure if it can be used with my set up
    It is a Zyxel Prestige 660HW Series - 802.11g Wireless ADSL 2+ 4-port Gateway

    Can I use this to share my connection aound the house? or do I need to get a router that doesn't have an adsl modem in it instead ?

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Not sure about that Zyxel Cionn, but I use the basic 3Com G office connect with no issues.You can find it here .It's only €79.

    I am hoping that I don't have to resort to buying new hardware however I might just sell the router that I have and get something like that one if it's not possible.

    I am also looking for a wireless VOIP phone for Skype that works directly with a router. All the ones I have seen so far need to be plugged into a USB port. I want something that doesnt require a pc to be left on when you are expecting calls (or making them ). Also I am not prepared to pay big money for a cordless phone.

    The router you have will work fine for distributing your BB.
