I don't think it's as complicated as this one,

The bad news:
You need some extra hardware, soldering skills and still can't authenticate with another ISP. But it's a first step.

If you are looking for a modem/router I would recommend this..
http://www.fritzbox.com.au/product-fritz-wlan7390.html

I use it with Internode (didn't buy from Internode - MATS computers at Lonsdale for $270) $49 Home Extreme 30 plan with $10 of VOIP calls included.

I have a phone connected to the Fritz Box but it also has an iPhone app where I can make or take calls on the iPhone if I am in wireless range.

Thanks boggo. That's a very nice unit but probably a bit more than I need, spec-wise.

Bob lite looks like it might do the trick.
