Hi Rob,
Thanks for taking the time to reply

I understand what you are saying and will have to have a think about it, The only thing that puts me off changing the router is the trouble i had setting the pc up in the first place i had to try 4 routers until i found one that aol would reconise (learnt not to take pc worlds advice

)
Now i have the pc working i am reluctant to swap routers, If i tried a new one and couldn't get it to work work can i plug the old one back in and go back to how i am now? does it keep the settings etc.
Thanks again Mark
