That's what I thought.

The draytek does UPNP AFAIK but be aware the Wireless end can only do
11mbps. This is only a problem if you're connecting more than 5 or so
wirelessly though or if you need to wirelessly transfer large files. Fastest
current standard is 54mbps and you could simply add a wireless access point
of this calibre to a non-wireless router.

How much would it cost you to get hold of the 2600 (ie. non-wireless.)? You
may be able to make some money from your advatageous position as the 2600
alone is just over £140 (cheapest place I can find, www.dslsource.co.uk )
;-)

When I get my student loan in september I'd be happy to give you £150 for
the wireless one and possibly £120-130 for the wired one if your source is
legitimate. (Even though this probably isn't enough of a profit margin to
make you interested in selling me one.)
