Strange though, I've had people swear by Linksys routers and say
Netgear ones suck...
I have already ordered a linksys ADSL2 ethernet router when I signed
up to internode... hope it works...

Huh? Their routers all seem to have web-config and they're all

As long as you don't need their support, you're fine. But if you
ever need
to call them and tell them that you're using it with a Macintosh,
they will
almost hang up on you.
FYI, Over the period of two years, I had 2 Linksys cable/dsl
routers. Both
stopped functioning without any apparent reasons. Right after the
warranty
ended up. I decided to go with D-Link and so far, after a little
bit over a
year, it's still running fine. They were all Ethernet routers, not
wireless,
though.
YMMV...

Murphy's Law: prov. The correct, _original_ Murphy's Law reads: "If
there
are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can
result in a
catastrophe, then someone will do it." This is a principle of
defensive
design, cited here because it is usually given in mutant forms less
descriptive of the challenges of design for lusers.
Edward A. Murphy, Jr. was one of the engineers on the rocket-sled
experiments that were done by the U.S. Air Force in 1949 to test human
acceleration tolerances. One experiment involved a set of 16
accelerometers
mounted to different parts of the subject's body. There were two
ways each
sensor could be glued to its mount, and somebody methodically
installed all
16 the wrong way around. Murphy then made the original form of his
pronouncement, which the test subject quoted at a news conference a
few days
later.
Before too many years had gone by variants had passed into the popular
imagination, changing as they went. Most of these are variants on
"Anything
that can go wrong, will"; this is correctly referred to as
Finagle's Law.
