Having had my housemate looking for a Router for our CABLE VIRGIN BB, he had gone to the supposedly resputable store that is PC WORLD.

He had gone in to purchase the much recommended WRT54GC from linksys.
Upon picking up the rquired router, a PC-W rep had told my house mate that it was no good for his needs.
Then they recommended... This is the funny part...

Linksys Wireless-G "ADSL GATEWAY" with speedbooster.
Now he has brought this home and the first thing I noticed was the huge ADSL sign on the box.
Then looking at the minimum requirements it clearly states an active ADSL line is needed.
My friend isnt the most addept at PC accessories so he took the "qualified recommendation" from this rep!

What a shame... Has anyone else had such a complete shambles curtesy of the professionals????
