Thanks for your reply. What you say about USB makes alot of sense.

I called up Actiontec retailer and explained that on that PC I happened to have an ethernet port - so they are going to send me a different router and an ETHERNET (rather than USB) wireless adapter.

I am hoping that this will solve problem as I agree with what u have said - the USB does not seem capable of taking all the data for large files.

However, this should be no problem at all for the ethernet.

Thanks again

correct - only 1 ethernet port on the router i have at moment.

The new one I am getting will have 4 ethernet ports - which i understand is good if someone has a laptop - they can just hook up directly to the router.

Also I want to put a PC in an adjoing room to where the router is - this one I will do WIRED (plug it directly into the router) as all i will have to do is run an ethernet cable around the skirting board - drill a hole through the wall for the cable, and the PC will be located just on other side of wall.

These wireless ethernet adapters are a bit expensive - perhaps Actiontec not the cheapest around - but they CLAIM there stuff is designed specifically for NTL.

Is true - or - should I look for a better deal somewhere else??
