I guess it depends on how much you trust your ISP? E.g. do they provide updates on time, how do they access the router, do they use the same password or key for all customers... For some users having someone else take care of updates might be nice, so you might be better of than many others. Do you have no control at all over the router? What happens if you need to open a port? -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
