That's how I have my Vigor set up. But its interesting how few people seem to have grasped the security issue. I've been out driving round the village at night with my wireless lappy and its like a free access wireless hotspot. You can pretty much park up anywhere and get onto some poor sap's wireless internet connection to check your emails and download porn etc
