You think that BT will be any easier?

According to my friend who is of a similar techy knowledge yes!

TBH I found Netgear a simple plug in and it worked exercise.

Slightly more effort when I came to add in the Linux using Assus but that only took a few minutes.

Best plan is to do nothing. Don't assume you need to do anything and the set-up (at least on Vi$ta ) is automatic. The only other person I know who has had problems with Netgear, read all the instructions, used the installation discs, kept referring to the "trouble shooting " guide and generally made a big deal out of it. When it didn't work came to me, as he knew I had Netgear, and asked for help. I simply pushed the reset button on the Netgear router and suggested we had a cup of tea whilst it reinstalled itself. End of problems.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

It's a southern thing, probably not made it up north yet. ;D

Tried that. It's always my first go to!

Still it's been returned now and the bt guy gave me the router at 50% off so it is actually an awful lot cheaper than the netgear bollocks.

I don't really trust wireless, not secure enough yet.

That's true it can take time, Nick has only just managed to get a copy of Netscape..  whistle:
