Though I haven't used a Draytek or even wireless communication, I can recommend Solwise routers and the exceptional service they provide. I presently use their SAR715 router/switch, which works a treat. They do offer a SAR715-PW as their wireless/router solution which may be of interest.

Hope this helps.

Vaguely re: the web hosting discussion... the subject of all-in routers came up.

I'm thinking about getting a Buffalo Tech. ADSL/wireless/VPN router thing. Most people seem to think very highly of the Draytek ones, but this one comes in at about 100UKP which is a distinct advantage in my mind. Anyone used one of these, or have opinions for some other reason?

They use the 802.11g (not)standard, which hasn't been finalised. However, apparently they have back compatibility with 802.11b and Buffalo T guarantee to fix them up to comply when g is standardised. I don't really care about b or g though, as long as they don't break down all the time.
