As for the routers, again - thank you. I have seen that page before but was hoping for extra wisdom maybe. E.g. here in the university lots of people are coming and going and it is usually possible to pick up all kind of second-hand gear. But it is tricky to know what will fit. E.g. are ASDL modem/router combos any good? Like this one

Netgear DG834G

Or do cable setups require a different kind of beast?

Thanks,

You do NOT want an ADSL router - it will not work!, you need a router with an Ethernet connection to your STB, NOT a phone line connection.
