ADSL modem/router advice

[Applespider]

I've had a hunt through search but couldn't find anything that matched this on the first couple of pages.

I currently have an ADSL USB modem but am likely to be moving house soon and am not sure whether I'll end up with a new ADSL connection or cable.

For this reason, I've decided that the all-in-one adsl/router/wireless option isn't a good idea. Instead, I've bought the Airport Extreme base station (without modem) since I'd also like to have my printer somewhere sensible!

Now I need to get an ADSL ethernet modem/router. I'm looking at the Netgear DM602 which is about £30 cheaper than the Netgear614.

But although some websites list it as being a modem or a modem/router, I've read somewhere else that in the UK, it doesn't feature just as a modem because PPPoA isn't supported. To get PPPoA, you need to use it as a modem/router.

Question is will this be OK to attach to the base station? Or will there be confusion over 2 routers? There appears to be a basic firewall in the DM602, would I disable this one and let the AEBS handle it or let them both work?

Help please?

Thanks

I'm running an AE with ADSL in the UK. I bought an Xmodem from ADSL Nation (http://www.adslnation.com) They are Mac friendly and have an FAQ on how to link the Xmodem to AE (http://www.adslnation.com/support/knowledgebase/ht007.php)
It's an Ethernet modem that has worked perfectly since I bought it. It passes through the IP address from BT and I use the AE as my router and wifi basestation, I also have a printer attached. An alternative is to get the AMX 64 which works with both the Snow Airport and AE, here the AMX64 is used as the modem/router and AE is used in passthrough mode just as the wifi basestation but I don't think this will allow you to print via AE.
good luck
