Hi atc
You will have no problem with the 585 you just use the be cd to configure it for you and install their templates takes about 2 minutes its a bridged connection i was using a 585 and it was fine as its limited config in the web interface, saying that their is a lot of support in the forum of the telnet commands for it.
I found i got faster speed with the BeBox (mine was a 780) than the 585 which is virtually the same but has voice ports.
Im now using a Netgear DG834PN which is a doddle to configure.
Settings are with any other router

Hope this helped.

Hey windmillhills .. i live in the Gateshead area too (Windmill way as it happens) and am with Orange unfortunately! The speeds i have been getting are SHOCKING! I feel like i'm back in 1997 on a 56k dial up.
I have been an Orange customer for 7 years with mobiles so thought i may as well get the broadband for a fiver. Had 3 weeks of ppp server down .. then slow connections .. its a disgrace!
Seriously considering the Be Broadband service too .. even if it does cost me an extra £19 a month im sure it'll be worth it. Ive had nothign but constant s**t with Orange!
Been terrible since Wednesday but seems to have improved slightly today. Trying to explain to the Indian call centre today that my e-mail hadn't been dealt with after 2 weeks .. ''but sir your line cannot support up to 8 meg''
For crying out loud!! I understand that but at least if i got a consistant 2 meg (or thereabouts) speed i wouldn't be overly bothered! The fact it scrapes along at 0.3 of a meg for the majority of the day is shocking!
Anyhow hope your situation has improved although i very much doubt it with Orange beign Orange!
Hmmm, things are definately getting better with Orange now. 6.3 Mbps, at noon on a weekday.
I'm not gettign anywhere near that. I must say since May had no down time or anythign however i'm baffled how you are getting those high speeds and we live in the same area?

It's still good as you can see. I changed no settings. I'm not sure of the date when it improved - it was just when I decided to do a speedtest.net run that I noticed the speed increase.
