    That's precisely what I have. :) So just out of interest, so long as I turn off DHCP I'm good to go? And how will the devices know which router is the access point?

    They'll pick that information up from the DHCP server, which is why there should only be one on a network (handwave: there are scenarios where you have more than one, but they aren't relevant in most household situations).

    If you can, stick the router in bridge mode (most O2/Be Boxes support it), but otherwise, turning off DHCP should be sufficient.

    Cheers, will give it a go and let you know how I get on.
