Cheers man,

I was hoping there was sommmmme router out there that would be able to do this simple task by now it's not the size and noise but more the "it re boots and knows what the hell should be going on after a powercut" factor. I now it's not strictly a router task 'tho... Other problem is I want it to connect to all the AV over the floors not just localised, plus in an ideal world a simple wifi switch from one of the standard networks to the proxy one to log into BBC iPlayer on a given lappy at any time would be a plus...but I guess if a machine with an in / out and hang another network off the back is the only way
