BT Internet with router

Hi

I will be helping a friend get rid of his modem and set up his broadband with a modem router (i've recommeneded he gets the Netgear DG834G).
I'm happy with the router itself but I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of any issues with his ISP.
I hope I'm not going to encounter difficulties but with the wealth of experience on here, I thought I'd ask before I get started rather than wait until I break his broadband connection.
Apparently I'm 10 years old on MSE. Happy birthday to me...etc

    Should be ok, I've setup that router on BT broadband before, just make sure that your adsl settings are set to vc based vpi=0 vci=38, otherwise your broadband password may appear not to authenticate properly.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
