Holy sh!t !!!
Are there any news links or anything about this you are aware of ??
I think I might do a bit of digging on this before I decide to
return it.

I'll have a look at that one too.
I went for Belkin as I've never had probs with their stuff
in the past. I really wanted the one with the built in modem,
but as I say they were out of stock till mid december.
Seems there is a bit of a run on all wireless stuff at present.
