My Netgear MR814v2 worked straight out of the box - it was only on day 2 (and since) that it refused to allow access to the internet. Therefore hold your breath, cross your fingers for a few days and hope there are still no problems ;-).

Nemesis - you mention different DHCP server standards - it may be a daft question but would different routers get a different response on the same NTL modem (in my case a Pace STB, 1MB). Do some brands work better than others?

Can anyone recommend a wireless router that works well with an NTL Pace STB? I have returned my Netgear as it just wouldn't play nicely (discussed on another thread last week). I only need 11mbs to work with the rest of my kit rather than any of the fandango routers with go faster stripes - there seem to be quite a few of this type/different brands come up at reasonable prices on Ebay.

Many thanks
