Is this suitable for my requirements?

I have recently upgraded by broadband from 512 to 1m and since then my crappy BT USB Voyager modem keeps going into test mode (approx every 10 mins and getting worse)

I am thinking of purchasing a Alcatel Speed Touch 570 Wireless ADSL Router which has a modem and firewall included.

Can someone tell me if this will be Ok for my requirements and also will I be able to network my 2 pc's quite easily with this??

Any feedback would be appreciated and Im sorry if this seems like a stupid question to others.

Cheers

Bubblie :p

If im not mistekn, even though "ADSL router" has the word "router" in it, if its anything like the "ADSL Routers" over here, it's only got one port and for you to share between multiple PCs you'll still need a hub/switch/router. :)
