Thanks for the advice everybody, this looks like the way to go for me for now. Two small queries, firstly if I was to move my PC to another part of the house (unfortunately not Windsor Castle!) could I then run it wirelessly straight from the STB, and secondly if in the future we were to acquire another laptop could I add it to the network? What is the maximum number of things (PCs printers laptops etc) that I could run off this one router?

Many thanks in advance.
