Anyone tried Draytek Vigor 2200 USB DSL Router?

[Guest]

Just wondering if anyone had any experiences purchasing/using this router... it is designed for use with a USB DSL modem, and is the only model of router available that will work with these. We have 7 computers sharing our DSL connection via internet connection sharing, and would like to switch to a router based sharing solution, so that the entire network doesn't rely on one PC anymore. I assumed we'd have to buy a different DSL modem (non-USB) and go that route, but then I ran across this USB-modem router. Anyone have any positive/negative feedback on this thing?

Info on the router:

Thanks,

Never used one. Is it usb 2.0 ? That will make a difference if it's not since usb 1 is only like 12Mbps then I would get a ethernet dsl modem.

12 mbits is plenty for a dsl connection which is a max of 1.5 mbits : )
