Thank you very much all for the help + welcomes

Based on what you guys have said, and what my own Googling has returned - I think I will indeed order a BEFSR41.

Is there anyway I will know what version I'm getting though? And If, say I ended up with a V1, could I not flash the firmware to V3 or V4 (whichever is the latest?).

I'm pretty much ready to order one really, it'd be great if anyone could suggest somewhere (in the UK) who sells ones that are definately atleast V3. Telewest have a tendency to keep making the connections faster

, so when 10Mb eventually becomes 20Mb, I don't want to end up getting a new router.
I found one on Amazon that has a "10/100 internal 4 port switch", but I assume when you said it needs to have a 10/100 WAN interface, you're referring to the port that I would plug my telewest modem into?

I'd be extremely grateful if anyone could point me to a few that are most definately V3+

Edit: Looking here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/rema...4259~days=9999 would I be right to say that getting a v4 would be a bad idea?

Thanks!
