Hi David,
This looks like the same package I bought some four or five years ago.
I found it to be a good modem/router, and only got rid of it when I
moved to Sky and was obliged to take on the one they supplied.
The only thing I'd add is that I wonder if you could get something newer
at the price? It occurs to me that you might get better range with a
newer model, although that's not to say that the chipset in this one is
not the same as it was when I bought it. That said, the fact that 'UK
Surplus Central Ltd.' are suppling it might indicate it has been sat in
a warehouse somewhere for a while.
Oh, the supplied wifi card was not Linux friendly at the time, although
things may have moved on since then.
