The DSL was turned on on Thursday and by 11pm I'd broken the router... tried to flash the latest firmware and it died. The guy on insanely late Tech Support said they might be able to get a replacement to me on Saturday, but they couldn't guarantee it. So I picked up a replacement router from PC World - and decided to get a wireless one.

I'm not entirely impressed - the connection seems very fragile. I moved the aerial on the back of the PC and the connection took a dive. When it is working though it seems decent enough. It's sucking a few GB of data in the form of my ripped CDs across from the old PC (still connected by cable - the router comes with four ethernet ports too) at the moment.
