Except the fact that this Linksys thing is not an ADSL router, but a
broadband router. In other words, it doesn't have a built-in modem.

The OP's ADSL router looks fine, but it may not support uPnP, which is
required for MSN Messenger to work properly. VPN may also be a problem.
There are no specs at all on the page, and I can't find the original
manufacturer, so I can't say for sure.

Alternatively, we've got a range of ADSL routers that support all modern
protocols he

The Linksys does support VPN and uPnP .. BUT .. not with an external modem
that itself supports NAT etc etc.
imho, it's *much* better to have the modem, router & wireless in a single
unit.
I love my linksys, but I am going to have to shell out for an all in one
unit so that I can get on to my company VPN.

I can't comment on that particular unit, but Origo (who make it) are pretty
good. Their wired models have a very good reputation and I've personally
never had any major trouble with them.

'OP' means original poster, ie the chap that started this thread, asking
about eBuyer's own brand router. I was NOT talking about the Linksys, which
is a totally different thing.
