O2 broadband questions
Hi
I am considering O2 Broadband
They offer a wireless box, Can I use my Netgear DG834 instead?
I don't want Mcafee anywhere near system
Does the setup CD automatically install it?

Remove CD from packaging
Throw CD in Frisbee fashion at dustbin.
Take a few minutes to set up connection manually

Don't use the setup CD - no chance of McAfee being installed then

You can use any router you like and you do not need the CD.

As log as you have one with a Broadcom chipset, you should be OK
v2's don't work very well as they have a TI chipset
