    look at the specification says is only compatible with windows 2000.
    does this mean it wont work with xp???
    otherwise a very good price but i think its very limited to a few systems?!
    any advice from people in the know will be appreciated

    does this have QOS, I've googled around and can find no mention of it? Oh and SNMP would be nice too

    bought one of these last year at that price, had to take it c=back as it turned out to be a customer return with loads of scratches on. Got a replacement and i is great. Not as powerful as i would have liked as the signel is not strong but still a good deal. The free support line is superb, they have helped me no end

    Just got one from PC world and can confirm it does have QOS and SNMP although QOS seems limited to 3 specified ports (along with the usual FTP, HTTP, SNMP etc. Luckily I only need 2 for my VOIP. Bit of a billy bargain as I can sell my other router for £30 and also sell the wireless card. So for me this was a router upgrade for free!
