[clug] Router for Transact

[Andrew Smith]

Hi Neil,

Dick Smith (and others) have a little DLink thing for about $88 that 
includes wireless.  Add a small 5 port switch for about $50 and you're done.

They seem to have a number of returned stock also, which I thought odd, 
but put down to the second Wizard page asking what type of connection 
you have (PPPoE is one option, plus DHCP, static IP etc.) - I figure 
most are looking for their ISP name so take it back :)

I've used two of these for friends without any dramas.  There's the 
usual dial on demand option that is set on - turn it off to avoid any 
wake up issues.
