RE: Fw: Easiest way to setup vpn into home network

[Marcus Warrington <marcus.warrington@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Personally I wouldn't (and haven't) buy a wireless router, rather by a
wired router and add a wireless access point to your network. That way
you can upgrade the wireless for faster speed (or even the router for
ADSL2+) at a later date. You can have the access point turned off at
certain times of the day for security and power saving , I do this with
an X10 Appliance module and HomeVision, the WAP is turned off whenever
the house is unoccupied or in sleep mode. Having a separate WAP also
means I can position the WAP for best coverage withing the house, rather
than being limited to where the router can connect to the BT socket. You
could even use multiple WAP's to get better roaming coverage around the
house/garden..

Keep your netgear and get a wired-only Vigor from ebay. Wireless range
(apparently) is the one downside of the Vigors.
