Hi Andy, Thanks for the heads up, but I would be more than pleased to get 22Mbps, which is 5 1/2 times the max ADSL connection rate here! My landlord is not into LAN gaming, he just wants to get his mail & surf a bit, but all on 1 ADSL connection instead of 2. In for a cent, in for a Euro, so I'll get the Range Expander.
Regards, Richard.be P.S. I still owe you dinner in Brussels!
