Noel,

I just started reading the latest of those articles I linked to, again, and
realised it involves the "Belkin N1 Vision Wireless"! I expect to be
ditching Be this year when the contract is up, in part due to the awful
routers they supply (and that they don't even give them to you, and if you
lose or bin them - I suppose the former can happen, while the latter ought
to - they claim they'll charge you £100 for the POS). I would like to resume
using my Dynamode - which I've not yet heard of being compromised (and I
like the configurability). The Texas Instruments chip is incompatible with
Be. Or rather, their wotcha-ma-thing-ummy-doo-dah. My memory is not what it
was! iirc.

Interesting that nowhere on The Register in those links was Belkin
mentioned (that I saw, anyhow) - which is what I use, and tend to
recommend. This could either because nobody's looked, or nobody's
found (or that Belkin don't custom-build for ISP's).

Linksys is of course now part of the all-hallowed Cisco... maybe
they're not so perfect after all?

I've never liked the way that BT set up their routers - and I don't
like the policy that too many ISP's have of sending a router that can
be effectively hacked into from their servers, supposedly for
updates, but potentially also for many other things including
customer support - which is why I try and get people to buy and use
their own routers.
