Hi Will,
I've just got the MR314 about which you speak. It replaced an RT314 that went belly up after 12 months for some reason (Netgear are replacing it but I couldn't wait for them to get stock). In general it's worked really well.
I haven't tried the wireless part of it yet, but I will RSN.
In general, the Netgear kit's been great. I'm running one of their 8 port switches as well (connected to the MR314 to the machines in the office), and all the machines have their NICs. Apart from the RT314 going down last week, the equipment hasn't missed a beat.
Another thing is that you may not have to have the cable point behind the TV. I know my cable provider has different access points for the TV and the Web/Phone lines.
HTH
Cheers,
Andrew

If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
