I have a few BT ADSL routers which I am not likely to ever use - so if SASes can make use of one, or wants one as a backup etc, it's your free.

They are BT Business routers 1800 or something like that, made by 2-Wire. They have wireless built in, but only 11b, not g, and 4 ethernet ports, and a basic firewall. New and unused, and the price is right - free!

Up until a few weeks ago I have run one for a few years after the last router blew up, and had a bunch of these kicking around, and it worked fine.

So, if one is of use to anyone, let me know. Collect from Woking area, or I can drop it off when I am out and about, and it will cost you a beer smile

I don't know - worked fine on a 6-7Mb connection being thrashed with P2P traffic 24/7, and did a bit of online gaming with a Xbox ages ago, so I am sure the router wouldn't have a problem with the traffic / amount of packets for from a Wii.

Wireless is only 11b, ie 11Mb, not 11G which is 54Mb, as they are older routers. Wireless worked ok when I tested it years ago on the one I was running at my old house, but I run an all singing dancing Cisco 1200 AP for wireless so if you want one for the Wii, I can't comment.

It would be fine if you want to remove modem/or usb modem for your adsl connection and want a router to do port forwarding, with ethernet ports.
