3COM OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall Router - OK?

I'm still waiting for broadband, but I'm running out of desk space so
I'm going to sell my Asus WL-500g wireless router and SpeedTouch 530
modem / router on eBay. I'll post a link if anyone is interested.

I'm quite keen on the 3COM OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall
Router - Product # 3CRWDR100A-72

Any opinions on this item?

TIA

I have its predecessor. If you use P2P, you probably want to look
elsewhere - frequent freezes and reboots. I don't do P2P and would recommend
it on that basis.

I have the 100A and it definately doesn't freeze during P2P. The only
problem I have\had is the random disconnects from the ISP which my
speedtouch usb modem didn't do. However, since 1pm on Saturday it hasn't
missed a beat. It's very easy to setup and use but it your line is long I'd
probably look elsewhere. It was cheap though. 65quid from EBuyer (I know
don't say anything) with a free PCMCIA wireless card.

If you use the names ("Asus WL-500g wireless router" and "SpeedTouch 530")
as posted, a simple search of Ebay will be enough to find them. Peter M.

Fair point, wait until Thursday evening though ;-)

To be honest, if it kept freezing with P2P it would be an advantage!
