After a *finally* successful tech-support call to Scan, they said they'd honor the warranty on my router. Yay!
Of course, something had to go wrong.
Upon installing the routers "EZSetup" (my áss), I keep getting "Network Error" and "Unable to connect to network, check your network settings". After a little (understatement alert) digging, I found out that loads of people had this problem. Oh! And a fix.... for Ultimate.
Then I find out the problem itself, that SAMBA in the router doesn't want to play nice with Vista HB. Okay, the date on the box is 2006 so I reckon Asus have a firmware update, with a SAMBA version that's compatible with Vista. Again, I was to be proven wrong. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
Okay, I've been told again and again that Asus suck (mainly by LG
) and I, the ignorant child I am, didn't believe them. The product rocks. It's a good idea. I just don't want to have to leave the router in a titanium box surrounded by CCTV cameras, plugged into the dreaded family computer. It'd be roughed up and broken within 24h 
Asus are marketing this as a High-Tech, 1337 product. How the hell can they do that without support for what is going to become on of the most popular OS's in the world???
*sigh*
Summary:
Scan: +1
Stare nicely at my £200 paperweight
Stick it on the dreaded family computer and have it abused
Use a homebrew firmware
Wait for Asus to come out with a new firmware update (like that's going to happen any time soon...)
Somebody shoot me
Anybody know anybody running V|HB + Asus wl700ge... and could you please get me details just how the hell they did it?
Thanks
PS: Anybody got a copy of Ultimate they wouldn't mind trading for a nice piece of thin air? [A]

honoring the warranty
Asus: -3
Crappy firmware
I don't even think they're making an effort towards making it complatible with V|HB - or Ultimate. Ultimate users can use it, at least.. with a hack.
I phoned tech support and they just told me to email some more tech support. Upon doing this they told me to phone.
