Thanks Andrew

>The MR-314 (and the RT-314) is not a true firewall. It does use NAT, but it doesn't do stateful packet inspection. It does do some content filtering based on keywords or specified sites. The FR314 and the RO318 are both true firewalls, but neither of them have wireless. If you really want a firewall and wireless You could add a wareless gateway somewhere on the network (eg the ME-102 or the MA-101).

>>If all the firewall stuff is on the box then how do I maintain it? is there some kind of software? where do the firewall logs go?

>Any wirless card should be OK as long as it's 802.11. The netgear card (MA401) should be OK, but plenty of others should work too.

>>Then for the wireless bit.. can I buy any wireless card? or should I stick with a particular brand/standard?
