When I was with BT Ireland, they gave me just the wired router. Eircom,
however, give one a router with both wired and wireless possibilities as
standard. If you want assistance with the wireless set-up, BT will probably
give it to you - over the phone, or you will probably have to pay extra for
on-site assistance. When you can get BT ireland tech support, it's ok, good
even. But the problem is, actually, getting it. "All of our agents are busy"
and such tosh, is the standard message. However, they will, usually,
eventually, return your call, if you opt to key in your number when you will
be prompted to do so.

Hi Gerry & Ed,
Thanks for that information. Ed, I take it that he means a wireless router
in the house, and yes, the wireless connection is more expensive.
Kind regards,-
