oops sorry... reading your email again i see you are looking for an
all-in-one device. the linksys i suggested does not meet this
requirement, it is just the wireless access point, and requires you to
have an adsl modem, you would be able to continue to use your dynalink one.
The linksys access points come with very clear setup instructions if you
aren't sure how to do it, pretty much anyone could follow them, they
have done a good job with that. Anyway, plenty of help available here
if you get stuck. eg if you want to have another go setting up your tp-link.

linksys wrt54gl - firmware is based on linux. excellent device, great
configuration options, used (or variations thereof) by numerous
members of this list and myself.
nice little wikipedia article describes the numerous variations (note
carefully - they are not all the same):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G
going for as little as $136 . . .

however why did you give up on your tp-link setup? would you care to
share where it went wrong? someone may be able to help with getting
it working with your modem...
Cheers,

Hi all
currently I have a Dynalink RTA230 broadband modem which I have been
using for a couple of years
with no problems.
I am now wanting to set up wireless access for a laptop as well as
the existing desktop as the RTA230 has only
one eth port
I have been trying for several days to get a TP-LINK wireless router
working with my modem and given up.
I assuume the easiest way to do this is to geat a single unit
modem/wifi 4 port router/lan and would
welcome any suggestions or info on suitable linux friendly local models
thanks.............dave
