Yes - thats the kind of thing I was thinking of. The one you show does 14mbs - I saw a couple the other day only doing only 1.5Mbps so I guess there is a lot of variation. I note that Andrew is in Oz, so there is probably a local version that works with their wiring codes (which are probably similar to the UK). The one I am using is a no-name taiwanese job that runs at 10 Mbps, but is clearly for the UK 220-240V/50Hz environment. Actually, I have been using it for a while and it is pretty good but bulky (unlike the netgear you linked to).
