OK I need/want a wireless network, the cables are a pain in the ass and by the looks of thiings wireless internet connections should be availble here soon.There seem to be plenty of wireless routers/hubs but I would really like something with built in USB for a printer, there is no way I am going to fork out for the new Airpoert base station though. If it has a built in modem that would be good but not essential. Any suggestions? --------

I see you live in Australia, which means that I have no idea what brands are actually available, but I hear that netgear (well other than tBoJ's bout with them) and... oh I forght the brand I'm talking about... because I'm not sure if it was netgear, I'll get back to you...I have an SMC router and it's basically DOA (so to speak) the DHCP functions ok, but I can't get to the administration page of it.. LinkSys! that's the one that I'm thinking of, I can't think of a single incident I've heard of in which one of these has borked...
Also, D-Link and Xsense (I'm told are good)
I've had problems with my SMC router though, but that's not wireless...

Sorry Cory. it was cats...Kady Mae do you have a model number or something? Finding someone who makes them isn't a problem, I'd just like to know what models people have! --------
