The SpeedTouch people have seen the opportunities offered by VoIP internet telephony and hit the ground running. The 716g is the first wireless broadband router we've seen with the sockets to plug a telephone in, so you can use a standard phone handset to make calls over the internet and save money on your bill.

Its features don't end there – the router is a perfectly capable standard 802.11g model (54Mbps) with the added option of connecting to your main computer via USB, as well as the usual Ethernet and wireless options.

Should you need to configure things, such as adding Wi-Fi security – which is turned off by default – the web interface is fairly standard. It has plenty of odd-looking numbers and jargon to send the uninitiated off kilter, but nothing to trouble those familiar with Wi-Fi's terminology.

If giving internet telephony a go is something that's on your 'to do list' and you've been wondering if you could use a standard handset to do it, this is certainly a handy all-in-one solution that will also wirelessly network your house and connect it to broadband.
