Though I havent mess with upgrading the software on the router itself. I just plugged it in and it works! :D

I was looking at that one too... I'm considering it. I need something with decent wireless signal, that can go through a wall or 2. The WAG120N doesn't look too good... so I'm looking at yours or this one:

That one isn't ADSL2+ :( so I'm considering spending the extra cash for yours.
 
I purchased:

I have it for 2 weeks now and so far i am very happy with it.

My setup:
Zotac MAG miniPC (only supports wireless N 150Mbps), PLANET ADN-4000 ,
and a PLANET WNL-U554A (http://www.scoopdistribution.co.za/...d=806&osCsid=c8643d3352e2e88e851906b1209c48c2).

At first i was very disappointed when copying files between the 2 computers, but after a firmware upgrade (a must if you want VPN), the speed is 2.5MBps, streaming normal movies works perfectly, didn't try full HD yet.

I read somewhere on another thread here, that if you want to make use of the new 8 or 10 mb speeds when telkom upgrades adsl you have to have ADSL2+ modem.

You could always buy the router and modem seperately. I just wanted one device that does everything ;) except making coffee of course.
 
Hey guys,

Thanks for all the help :)

After some careful thought, I decided to get the WAG320N that Nefertiti suggested... I've heard lots of good things about Linksys, and I need the ADSL2+ capabilities and Wireless-N, so it was ideal. Waiting impatiently for it to arrive ;) thanks for all the advice.
 
Just curios...what speed do you guys get , when transferring files between 2 computers on a wireless N 150 network?
I managed to push my connection to 2.8 - 2.9MBps....
