We need a WPA2 supporting router can anyone recomend any - also requires an internet port that can be configured to be used with a standard wired router elsewhere in the building that hosts the interent connection - some might say use a wireless AP but we also need 2-3 spare wired connections near the wpa2 router.
Although I have some older Linksys kit at home which is very good I tried some of the newer stuff - and returned it immediatly...

any ideas?

thks.

Nothing wrong with Draytek in my experience. They tend to be quite feature-rich for the price.

Sounds like you need a wireless AP + a lan switch.

Problem is the Main Adsl router it is connected to has a fixed range of IP's and therefore we need a Router with NAT at the other end...

So the main router is just routing a range of public IP's and not nat'ing? Fair enough... you'l need to buy a cable/dsl router not an ADSL one in order to nat on the ethernet connection to the main router, draytek are good but most of their range is ADSL not cable, except maybe the 2910G by the look of it. Looks like the 2910G also does WDS which might be useful to you depending on the lie of the land so to speak?
