Wires only Des, and you assumed right.
There’s no need to keep it separate, but as wireless performance does
vary from brand to brand, it seems sensible to use Linksys kit, as I know
that
will provide the right level of coverage. We did a fag packet calculation
this
afternoon, and reckon that to just to put a network socket in every room
would
involve running 1000m of CAT5 in a 70 year old house – a massive
undertaking – 802.11 isn’t exactly straightforward, but it is
workable.

Tim,
I think from your post what you want to do is
keep
the wireless part
separate to allow for expansion in the future,
if
so...
Are you getting a wires only adsl install, or
getting a modem supplied?
If wires only, then you either need a separate
modem and router, or a
combined modem/router. For combined, the ASUS
AAM6000EV does the job for not
much money
http://www.adslguide.org.uk/hardware/reviews/2001/q4/asus_aam6000ev.asp
.
For separate, you will need an ADSL modem with
an
ethernet connection and an
ethernet router such as the linksys BEFSR41 or
a
USB ADSL modem and a USB
router such as the DrayTek Vigor
2200USB.
HTH
Des.

I'm beginning to think that everyone hates me,
'cos no-one is responding to
my Linksys questions. Maybe this one will get
a
better response J
There seem to be loads of ADSL routers that
support PPPoE which seems to be
the standard in the States. I haven't seen
that
many that support PPPoA
which is used over here. Anyone got any
recommendations.
My plan for the time being is to use 802.11b
As
and when we need an increase
in bandwidth I'll just swap out the access
points
for 802.11a (or whatever)
so it seems sensible to keep the
modem/router/dhcp
server separate at the
moment
