Single room ? You should be able to manage with one good quality router properly setyp they have ports for ethernet cables too and/or one switch if needed. unreliable ISP , how do you get internet phone line ,cable , USB dongle conected to the PC. Do your ISP provide a modem or router of some sort, wonder how this one is setup to work ? -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
