Router with Wanadoo

Couldn't find it in the FAQ, tech support fairly non-committal.........

Can I use a router with a built in modem on any Wanadoo BB package? Or am I
tied to their crappy USB thing with ICS as the only option?

I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole, but my mate already has an account
and wants me (this always happens) to sort it out.

Cheers

Any router - it's dead easy!

Despite your prejudice the technical quality of their service (run, as
always, by Planet OnLine) is excellent.

Are you asking if a Router is technically possible, or are you worried it
might contravene their T&C
If the former then the answer is most defiantly YES

If the latter, I don't think the word Router appears in their conditions.

Anyway ICS is a form of NAT Router, you can Port Forward, and it does DHCP

useful.
