How far does Wireless go?

No, that's just a modem, not a router. You need to look at this page:

The Netgear DG834 is the only thing that would do the job on that page. Or, if you want a router with wireless, check this page:

Steer clear of any router that states Cable/DSL as these will have ethernet ports only - you want a specific ADSL router which will have an in-built ADSL modem.

i read some reviews on this product and a lot of people seem to have trouble using this router with p2p applications.. says the router crashes after a few hours
are there any other equivalent routers, perhaps a different make, but same function, that u can recommend?
 
It might work however having experence for a short while using it between 3 floors, it is very suspetible to everything going on in the floors inbetween. corless phones, microwaves, high current draw equipment, TV's and people moving about. So i doubt it would reliable if it did work.

Cable is the best route tbh.

Never had an issue with Netgear DG834 crashing with P2P. Only heard this with early firmware on V1. :confused:

The equivelent would be the Linksys WAG354G BUT the wireless range on this is poor.

if i bought it now would it have the new firmware already installed, or would i have to update it?
is it hard to update firmware?
 
If some mofo dangled a cat5 patch past my balcony it'd be garden shear time before you could say "catestrophic cable failure".

the Netgear Dg834 will give you a range of about 300 meters, i set up a network with one a few days ago and the guys 5 floors up in the offices in the next building along could pick it up, it was a week signal, but constant and gave a half decent speed too :)

Yes if you're happy with the other pc having to be on for your internet connection to work, and all the rest that goes with ICS.
