I have a 2wire modem router that I took from work (BT sent us 2 by mistake). Will I be able to use this device as a stand alone router? I can connect to the router from my laptop - However, when I connect the router to the set top box i cant connect to the internet. Can anyone help me with this? Or am I going to have to buy another wireless router (without an integrated modem). Cheers.

Although I have heard that some people have had problems with the linksys one.
