I will probably need the USB connection because there isn't another way to load the router 
I'll post update.

End of this sorry tale
Friend took Buffalo back to shop - they sent her away with a pat on her head and didn't even listen to the faults and tests I had dictated -
RED RAG - after much phone bullying from me they agreed to test the bugger
"Ooh, err, how strange! Never seen that behaviour before sir."
Turned out that with the latest firmware (DS
) it was as good as gold - but you needed a USB cable - special driver - blah, blah.
Anyway - swapped for 3com jobby. ADSL signed on , wireless OK - good signal in rest of the hoose, now got to set up WAP/WEP/WPA (or whatever is this month's flavour of encryption).
One relieved punter.
Moral - don't be patronised by the spotty youths at the local computer shop - well at least they understood what I was saying when they started listening.
Moral2 - should'a bought a Mac?
Thanks for the ideas and suggestions.
