The Linksys WRT54GS is only a wireless router, it does not have an
ADSL modem built in. If you changing to BT Option 2 or 3 you should
get a free Home Hub which is a Speedtouch 2 port wireless router with
VOIP. You could connect the WRT54GS to the Homehub as an additional
Wireless Access Point.

yeah sorry should have mentioned that going on option 3 so its a case of
conecting hub to router and it should be no problems all should work ok?

yes, but connect the one of the Linksys's LAN ports to the LAN port of the
new hub, and turn DHCP OFF on the Linksys.

The Linksys would act as a Access Point, instead of a router, IP addresses
for wireless devices should then be assigned from the BT hub. If you connect
the Hub to the Linksys's WAN port, you would have effectively two
networks, no big deal, but it makes sense tosimplify matters ;-)
