Update:

Well, the SH came today as promised. The setup instructions were very easy.

As I use both an Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station and an AirPort Express 'extender' I initially powered them off. This was so they didn't interfere with the initial SH setup process.

I did the whole SH set-up via WiFi on my laptop connecting directly to the SH, obviously not by via my Apple kit. Rebooting the SH after over 30 minutes as the activation recording asked.

After a reboot, everything was working great and Internet was fine.

I then set the SH to MODEM only mode and connected my Apple routers as before. I bit tricky to start with as the Extreme couldn't connect to the Internet. Checking the setting the SH was on a different IP range. I just rebooted the SH again and now everything is back working as before. SH in MODEM mode and WiFi/LAN via Extreme/Express.

Speedtest.net confirms DL 61MB and UL3MB.

Lets see how stable it is over the coming hours/days/weeks.

I hope it's as stable as my 10MB package was!

Fingers crossed.

Thanks Guy/Gals. The information I gained from this forum was invaluable.
