I currently use a USB modem which is why it will not work with Ubuntu, and I wanted to replace it with a router. However, I got the wrong item as I need an ASDL modem built in. What about this item instead: <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Solwise-ADSL-SAR-600E-Single-ADSL2%2B-Router/dp/B000IB9R3C/ref=sr_1_8/203-8642488-2050310?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1172874514&sr=1-8"> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Solwise-ADSL-SAR-600E-Single-ADSL2%2B-Router/dp/B000IB9R3C/ref=sr_1_8/203-8642488-2050310?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1172874514&sr=1-8</a> It is in more of my price range and I am probably only going to have 1 computer on the internet. Seeing as its using ethernet it will work with Ubuntu won't it? Thanks Ben Webb P.S. Any better deals would be appreciated.</blockquote><div> Looking at the quick setup guide at: <a href="http://www.solwiseforum.co.uk/downloads/files/sar600e-qsg-vr1.pdf">http://www.solwiseforum.co.uk/downloads/files/sar600e-qsg-vr1.pdf</a> </div> I can see no issue why this would not work.
