I recently bought a TP-Link TD-8840 'External ADSL Router' to replace my 
current setup of an Alcatel Speedtouch Home modem and an IPCop firewall / 
gateway / router in preparation for a change to ADSL2 but lost the confidence 
to rebuild my network.

I can offer a steady supply of cappuccino (and even a sausage sizzle) if 
someone was inclined to take a trip to Warner to bail me out.
