[MLB-WIRELESS] Advice on a wireless Internet gateway router

[Andrew Gibson]

There are a number of residential gateways with in-built modems.

These include:

Lucent/Orinoco Residential Gateway (RG1000)

Compaq WL-310 Wireless Home/Office Gateway

Apple AirPort Base Station

Some also have a serial port that allow connection to a external modem.

Don't fully understand the need for two units and this does potentially 
cause issues, especially with the residential gateways.
